Re: Pocket knife jargon questions?

I have a few knives that are really great looking but the pull is near a 10. If my nails are long and I have not done any hard physical labor I might be able to open it if lucky. Those times I bring a little index card to slip into the knife well. I tend to carry those when I think it is very unlike...

Re: Deepen nail nick?

I have a Case 5332 that had 2 nail nicks which were very shallow. I practiced on a few metal items using Dremel tools but it did not turn out good. A gentleman on this forum made them more deep. I don't know how he did it but I was very grateful. He has not posted since 2019 so I don't know how he i...

Re: How to Trade--Without Getting Shafted?

Don't worry about it too much. The main thing is to have some fun.
Probably neither of you will make a killing. If you get something you
really like then that what is is all about.

Re: Question about repairs

All good responses in above.

I have found the vice method or squeezing adjustable priers work fairly well. Be sure
to protect the bolsters with thin wood, leather, or thick painters tape. Don't over do
it- I have sometimes gone a little too far and made the blades too difficult to move.

Thanks for the additional information Ken. I think Case could have done
well with the new grind as a special subset if they did not
goof up it's introduction.

Re: Mercury from Maniago

I think it is a wonderful looking knife. The off-center blade bothers me only slightly. It seems as though you are very particular. So you should either return it or get an exchange. I don't think you can bend it. It would be difficult and probably would not be to your satisfaction. ( Others may pip...

Thanks for the post. I previously had a Kodak Printer that in the last few years
the only eBay sellers that had original Kodak ink were from China. Never
ordered any because I always had some fears.
