I'll try to remember to post finished pictures when I'm done. Thanks for all the info, guys! this is such a good place to mine some info from a wide ass...

Sawback Schliepper
I picked this nice old Eye Brand blade up at a knife show this morning. I'm not sure what the original knife looked like. Was it military? What kind of handle did it have. Blade measures 8 1/4" with an OAL of 13 1/4". Blade thickness is .210". Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Case xx sidewinder
I had one that was hard to open and wouldn't lockup. a good flushing with WD-40 did the trick. then a good cleaing and relubed it with a quality oil.

These will be for a friends coke bottle that I am rebuilding for him. So nothing but the blade and frame are original. He wants it to look right.

Re: Who made this one?
Not real sure, but it kinda looks like an early Robbie Dalton knife. The only mark on some of his knives was a dog under a parachute with a sign on his side that said "FTW". In the backgroud were three jagged mountains. This etch was sometimes faint, so look carefully. He is still making s...

Re: DOC Knives
Not sure what the wood is, but it is a good looking piece of burl. The guy I got the knife from didn't know anything about the knife or the maker, but he said he was into it pretty deep. I traded him a new Voorhies subhilt for it. The taper on the tang almost comes to a knife edge.

Japanese Sushi Knife
I picked up this sushi knife last weekend. I'm not sure if it is trash or a treasure. It needs cleaning and sharpening and some TLC, but looks like it might be be a good'un. Blade is 9 1/2" with a 5 1/4" handle. The only markings are the Japanese writing in the picture. Can anyone help ide...

DOC Knives
This weekend, at the Tulsa gun show, I picked a beautiful camp knife made by DOC Knives. His logo has what looks to be a bear paw on it. It is a really well made piece, with a super thin blade taper. Burl handle scales, nickel silver bolsters and a nice leather sheath, with his logo on it. Blade is ...

I picked up this nice little (8 1/4") Solingen, Germany stag hunter the other day. Beautiful stag, forged blade with original sheath. The blade is hard to read. What I can make out says "_R_CHKRON_ over "GERMANY". above the name appears to be a set of antlers, kinda elk lookin'. ...

Re: Brass corrosion
The verdigris will also damage leather sheaths. It will eventually rot the leather around brass rivets and snaps.

Re: James Custom Knife
I bought these from a collector in Houston who is selling his stuff. I paid $225 each for these. He told me that James was a well known maker back in the day, which is kinda vague. Any way, they are very well made with strong snap and great lookin' bone scales!

Marble's Tang Stamp on a 1916 Pat'd. Woodcraft
I picked up this Woodcraft in a batch of knives I bought yesterday. It is stamped with the Pat'd. 1916 U.S.A. stamp, but the stamping on reverse has a right facing serif. I thought all the early knives (pre late 50's) had the left facing serif. Any ideas or information would be appreciated. SAM_4043...
