Re: Germany - Multi Tool With Glass Cutter.

I was fascinated by this journey on this knife pattern. From the beginning of the posts up to the present. Knife history and usage is my favorite part of the "hobby" I started to think the glass cutter may also be a crude can opener. But the later posts by the OP showed both the glass cutt...

Re: camillus #72

Going..... ALL 12 of my FIRST GENERATION 72's have a half stop for the coping blade. I don't doubt all 1st generation 72s have that feature. It just surprised me it was there. If I'd carried it some , it would have been noticed a lot sooner. Think I've owned it maybe about 10 years. Thanks New Wind...

Re: camillus #72

I have about 7 of these knives - 4 camillus ( 3 standard issue, 1 scout) 2 schrade ( schrade and older schrade Walden) 1 imperial (scout) OK, to the point now. I land...

Excellent find.
That knife takes a wicked sharp edge.
And the old style sheath was a bonus. I believe they were changed as the blade was cutting the strap.

Re: When Is It Time To Say Goodbye ?

I've been collecting pocket knives for over fifty years now. I have somewhere north of 1000 knives. Much as I'd like to, I know I'm not going to live forever (in this realm). We spend years of our time, and lots of our money gathering up a pile of knives. When is it time to start saying goodbye to ...

Re: 74 case splitback whittler hard to open?

This fix isn't for everyone but I finally fixed the pen blade on the Case 6208 half whittler. This pattern is a single spring early 70's knife. It was so hard to open I had to use Pliers. After trying a number of the usual suggestions I finally used a rotary tool with a cut off wheel to increase the...

Re: Lets have your (2) all time favorite patterns ... GO

Serpentine Jack ( e. g. Case 6244 or 6232)

Serpentine Pen ( 3" to 3 1/2" , single spring) but the equal end Pen is a close decision here.

After reading this hours ago, it reminded me that I have a Case 6308, 6208, a Muskrat, and maybe another Case, or two. that have blades that can't be opened without a damn pliers. So I keep my 6208 with the pen blade open in a box with my fixed blade whittling knives. I was determined to free up the...

Yes, stay with it. The Lansky system is very good and you can learn a lot from using it.

Some people get their edge and continue to sharpen only to lose the Apex of t...
