Thanks, and thanks for the idea!knife7knut wrote: ↑Wed Jul 14, 2021 11:16 pmYou might try getting a small SAK and seeing how the spring in the scissors matches up size wise for the one that was in yours.

I tried to use one of those that the spring had broken on; and the latch was missing. It took one huge chunk of the flesh out of the area between my index finger and thumb.

Thank you, Ray.
The old French knife is just shy of 4" closed. Too bad it was so abused. All the carbon steel is pitted, unfortunately.
The coarseness gives it its own character, I think.

For a knife that I think is more than 150 years old I think it has survived rather admirably!

Nice looking French knives, Dimitri.
The three spring looks like a hand full.
