S-K,
Is it at all possible that they were part of a field surgeons' kit? The others are really stunning, marked Down. London and several marked Ferguson
with no other address. Cheers,

::tu:: Thanks upnorth, That is an excellent idea; 'make it more pocket friendly too! I have got rid of the rusty leaking in a bath of home-made WD-40 (2/3 kero- 1/3 light machine oil) and a lot of opening and closing. Three in one oil seems an ok lubricant, the action works great and the knife is a ...

::ds:: upnorth, Thanks, but it's not all that good really. It possibly should have been done by a pro. but if all the canyons were removed from the pen blade, there would be nothing left. It's a compromise at best; I have maintained the integrity of the piece but there is red active rust everywhere ...

Old Rodgers Knife: Cleaner.
Old Rodgers knife, half way there. Still lots to do! Craters with rust; but have been able to establish edges and you could carry this knife and
actually cut things. The pen blade is an ugly shape but there wasn't a
lot of choice.
This is a very old knife!

Hi upnorth, No! What I will do though is remove gaps from edges and gently lift the large rust clumps off; internally the knife is a miracle but with mineral oil and 0000 steel wool I will remove rust without damage to the patina. With W-D40 soak and a stainless steel razor blade stubborn rust can b...
