A few exciting new projects
A few exciting new projects
Going to a knife show and meeting old friends is great fun. Buying and selling knives is also great but to me the most fun I have a knife show is buying old battered and broken knives that have the potential to be rebuilt and refurbished.
I know there are not many people even on AAPK that would appreciate these like I do, but the few of you that do appreciate them hang out in the Knife Repair & Restoration forum!
Here are some gems I picked up at the OKCA show last weekend to be completed at some future date.
The knife that excites me the most is this A.W. Wadsworth & Son fish knife.
It has a full sabre ground blade and beautiful shell bolsters. The only thing wrong with it was the off gassing celluloid.
I think it will be a fun restoration!
Here are a couple more from Germany. The bartender's knife is stamped FK DE BARY/& Co and MADE IN GERMANY on the rear.
The bone handled mid lock is stamped J DIRLAM & SONS/SOLINGEN GERMANY (1910-1930, per John Goins)
I am sure looking forward to restoring them!

Re: A few exciting new projects
Thanks cato, I thought so too.
Here are some other project knives I got at the show:
The upper left is a KEEN BLADE.
The stag equal end is stamped VEDERASCO.
The camp knife is a STANDARD KNIFE CO. and the bottom right is a WARDS.
Of course the upper right Cub Scout knife is a Camillus.
Does anyone know anything about the VEDERASCO? It isn't in Goins.

Some nice fixer-uppers there Dale.
Never heard or seen VEDERASCO but I like the looks of it
I'll be interested to what you do with it.

Yep, That Wadsworth is one cool tool!
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Re: A few exciting new projects
I really like those first 3. The Wadsworth, what great bolsters!
And that bartenders knife, I love the lines on it, and how the NS runs up to the corkscrew, should be a great mod!

Nice stuff, Dale.
