A F Bannister find
A F Bannister find
Found this locally, snaps like a gator, main blade a bit proud when closed, trying to decide if I want to file the kick...

Neat old knife. If it was mine I would file the kick.

Neat old knife indeed.
Re: A F Bannister find
Seems as though it may have seen a little filing already. You could also file the blade back to bring the point lower. Have to make it a gradual cut though, you don't just want an abrupt drop. If you need help at it feel free to shoot me a PM.

Re: A F Bannister find
Just an additional thought on your fine old knife: If you file the kick on the main blade, the nail nick may be below the secondary blade. That kick might also have to be filed just a tad to keep the main blade accessible.
