All About Pocket Knives

I would keep it original,you don't see many of these with the laminated blades

Got your PM on this,tried to do some homework but couldn't find too much.Some swordsmiths came out of WW2 and had to find some related work,made scissors,kitchen knives and carpentry tools.This looks better than the average,Is the mei in Japanese or English.

Looks like a diamond lap Scott,the type you would use to touch up carbide lathe tools.Bottom line...whatever you need to sharpen,give it a shot.

Mass produced knives coming from Pakistan or India,they hit the market maybe 4-5 years ago

Delrin scales,a different opener(yours is either a two piece or has that secondary grind)it has a round shield(missing)and the bolsters don't have the groove.The star stamp was I think used until '64,think mine is at the late end and yours may be earlier.

This is what the whole blade on that Primbles looks like tj

May have posted this before...

Here is a J.Oeser that just popped up my facebook page(OK,I know,facebook....a few yrs back 3 people I went to school died within a short period of time,the info was all there)

I have this one and the smaller one with mother of pear scales.Someone about that time said that maybe the blades or at least some of the frame parts were older.Looking at them though you can see they were newly made knives,kinda disappointing but non the less a well made knife.

From Sargents book,Ive posted pic of this knife before,yes I polished the blade,it had a chip,rust and a chunk out of the scale....

At the flea mkt this morning,woman had a few Schrades with delrin handles,I prefer the older bone,I actually left then came back later,all still there so I took a second look and spotted this.......

About a 15 min ride for me,about time something like this is close to home....

Whoa!....wait just a minute!a knife show here in Joisey!only a few towns over from me!Im'e on my way!

I have a bunch of those blades,the heat treater was stuck with a load of blades from Schrade when they shut down(I understand they may have been scrapped)The driver for the heat treater dropped off an assortment one day.

Epoxy is one of those adhesives that I don't think there is any solvent for once it is cured.You might wanna try dental pics(carefully)

Nice age on that stag...
