Restoration - Case Bradford PA

Post by orvet »

Sometime back I found an old Case Bradford PA, without any handles on it.
I had forgotten I even had to get, but ran across again it a few weeks ago.
I decided I want to fix it because I like the tiny precision ground blades.
The length is only 2-5/8" which made it a bit difficult to work on for me.

I think this is the first Case Bradford PA I have owned. I may have seen one or two but according be research section here on AAPK it was a tang stamp that was used prior to 1920.

I hope you enjoy the pics.

Gorgeous old knife Orvet, way to go, looks fabulous. What a beauty at over a hundred years old. Looks better than most of the new stuff out there. Good show.
