Re: It's a killer knives

Ebay would be a better place if all the knife sellers were as honest as him! I have bought from him before ebay existed, and continue to respect his honesty to this day. .....Farts out I have purchased numerous knives from George (itsakiller) over the years and everything has been nothing but top n...

Re: Handle jigging

You might want to ask the experts and put this one on the counterfeit forum. Doesn't look like Case jigging to me and I have concerns over the tang stamp and the tang itself. ::hmm::

Re: What's Wrong With This Picture

I've actually seen a handle modification like that before, but not a pull "embellishment" like that. Perhaps that knife must have belonged to someone with really fat fingers? ::hmm::

Re: Unusual German knife construction

It looks to me like this old knife has seen a lot of action and a lot tinkering. From your second picture it is clear that the liners are severely bent. I'm thinking that the bone handle scales have been replaced because of the large gaps between the scales and the bolsters, and because I don't see ...

Re: CASE TESTED Stag Drs knife????

I'm no expert, but I have my doubts about this knife too. I don't think the pattern 85 doctor's knife was ever handled in stag (but I'm not 100% sure) and I have concerns about the tang stamp. On both tangs the letter C is touching the A and none of my Case tested knives look like that and I think t...

Re: Side to Side Blade Movement on Custom LB when closed

Q, I think I can clearly see the pivot pin head when I expand your pictures (dead center in the bolster in your first picture). I'm guessing that it was never peened properly to begin with and needs to be replaced. But, as Dale said, I would would need to see the knife. Lana 'iʻo ka manaʻo!

First try leaving a drop of WD-40 on each screw head for a few hours, then see i f you can loosen them. Second, try heating them up with a heat gun first. Good luck..
