Here's a hard one to find, a Kipsi Kut from Poughkeepsie, NY. Some wear to main blade, great snap, I'd been looking for one for many years.

Here's.....

NICE one Gene!

Thanks Skip, dang hard to find these Hudson Valley knives. I have seen more Nagles than Kipsi Kuts.

[New_Windsor_NY]

Thanks.....

I've never seen either one, until now.
I never even heard of Kipsi Kuts, until now.

VERITABLE CHOTON

Found on ebay and it was really dirty, seller offered it to me at 30% off original ask. Unfortunately the small blade was missing a chunk and the "Veritable" script in the Brand Name was gone. Needed a test bed for the sake of cleaning and I liked the look of it so I took the offer. Knife was very dirty and it was hard to open the blades and there was no "snap" initially.

My first few attempts at cleaning did not work (first a soapy bath, then a WD40 bath, then a more drastic attempt with Rust Oleum and letting soak for an hour) and I unfortunately had to sand it in the end. After sanding everything I used Can-o-Air to free up any particles and then finished with another WD40 bath to loosen up everything.

Here are the before pics.

[Yomagn'tho]

.....and here are the after cleaning pictures. Still need to thoroughly sharpen the main blade, but the saw teeth appear unused and are quite sharp as is. While not pictured all blades/pieces open all the way and all sit firmly at half-stop. The small blade has wobble when closed and opened, but the other items are all excellent closed/half/open and are firm to open and have very strong "snap".

[Yomagn'tho]

To be clear I don't plan on so drastic a clean on the old knives I pickup, but with this one I needed to know that I could if needed on any rusty/dirty knife.

Good job!

Nice, Roger. The jigging reminded me of Schrade.
