Farm House Finds
Recently took possession of my wife’s family farm and have found several old pocket knives.

Re: Farm House Finds
Nice finds! The pearl manicure knife stamped Case Bradford is over 100 years old. I agree with Ray - a couple drops of oil on a rag wiped on the handles will restore the handles of those other Case knives. They appear to have “Delrin haze” (oxidation from lack of handling). Lightly wipe it on the blades of all of them while you’re at it.

Re: Farm House Finds
Thank you for the info on the manicure knife. I had no idea. Likely my wife’s grandfather’s knife.
