Re: What is this knife

You might go to Google and search for old balisong knife then click on images. Look at the pictures that come up and see if you can find something similar to yours, I see a couple that are close.

Re: Chitting potatoes

TY I am by no means a gardening expert. Flying by the seat of my pants here. I read online to rub the eyes off and then expose them to sunlight at least 4 weeks before planting. The sprouts will stay on and be planted 4" deep facing upward. This is supposed to generate larger potatoes. I don't ...

Chitting potatoes

First year for this. I saved these from last year and hope to grow more bigger, baking type potatoes. These are Kennebeck and popular in this area. I also hope to have them in the ground by about Good Friday. Snow Monday, so we'll see. Also save seeds from Zinnias and they are so glorious with all o...

Re: Looking for a pivot that is 0.235" diameter

I was given this tip years ago by Bill Hammons who was a very knowledgeable knife repair person. This 5/0 Taper Pin Reamer, HSS, Straight Flute is an invaluable tool when you have slight variances in the size of the hole and the pin stock. Learn to use the pin reamer and you can make quick correctio...

Re: Camillus 1969 US

I probably have one. If you post a picture, we can be sure. The thing is the minimum shipping is about $4.50 depending on zip code and you might find one in a junk box at a local flea market or knife show. PM me if you like and we'll go from there.

New Ebay Scammers

I'll pass this along FWIW. I bought a car part on eBay from a seller in China. However, when I received it, the label showed it was shipped from the Amazon Center in Hebron, KY. That's really not unusual. The part was to be NIB, but it was not. It had been opened and came with a set of instructions ...

Great photo! The ladies might also have been on the QC/wipe down/boxing line as well. I've seen a few phots where those departments were filled almost exclusively with women. Much better at the finer points I'm sure. Can you imagine Paul Bunyan there wrapping knives? Dang he must surely have been o...

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I should have thought about calling Case first. I have heard they do a pretty good job, and I would think they would cover this under their warranty.

Re: Case 6220

If they turn you down pm me and I'll try and help you. Maybe your knife has sentimental value and is special for you, but if it's just an EDC you are going to get more money in shipping alone than it's worth.

Re: Suspicious 6318 Currently on Ebay

If using MS right, click and save the picture. Open the picture with paint. Then select save as and select save as jpg. I think Jerry first explained this.

If using tablet, phone or other similar device consult with your grandchildren. They can explain it.

Re: Two knives different names similar characteristics

Those are called Federal shields, and you can still buy them in bulk today. Not surprising that different companies used the same size shield. Tony Bose used the federal shield in some of his newer knives.

Re: Please tell me if these knives would be of interest to anyone

You can sell them on eBay if you go there and search you can find similar items and get a ballpark value for yours. I had a partial set on here for a while and they never sold. Also, sometimes those handles are removed and handles for regular knives are made from them,

Go to advanced search
