Here's my new one, which USPS decided to get to me a day behind schedule. It is, of course, a Schrade 100th Anniversary 34OT. Though it's not perfect, it's pretty dang nice...and unlike my other 100th Anniversary 34OT, it wasn't full of pocket lint! The other 100th Anniversary 34OT is now a carrier.

Great catch on a beautiful piece of cutlery history Dan!

A nicely shaped blade...sure looks good! All is well here, too.

Great pics, nice to see how others do it. Never thought of taping off the whole blade when sharpening. Learned another thing or two. Thanks.

Thanks Ivoryman

I decided to do it like this because the resting platform for the blade has strong magnets in it, they are removable but they're what hold the knife fixed onto the platform, but as I work on top of the platform they catch the shavings which end up rubbing on the blade; so now I just tape off the entire knife to protect it.

Very cool piece L.A.! I really like the idea of taping off the blade before starting, it gives you a definite concentrated area to work on, and you don't have to worry about messing it up. Great idea!

Thanks Loose Arrow, good to know. Way to keep it unblemished.

Bestgear, that's a pretty one, love the shield, good flash you caught in pics too.

Nicely shaped edge LA! Yer on to something, with the taping technique... I don't understand why it never dawned on me, to tape my blades while sharpening. Guess this foggy brained dude can still learn something everyday.

Good job!

Thanks everyone, I'm just trying new things in life. Always carried a knife for its utility and collected some but beyond that I wouldn't mess with them, now I'm enjoying messing with them instead of just collecting or destroying them. Lately I've been buying old butcher knives and fixed blades just to sharpen them.

Here's another one I just received, needs to be re-handled but I just wanted to sharpen it.

You're getting too good at this Loose Arrow! I have about 250 knives coming your way, can you have them ready in a few days?

250!

That's a lot of dull knives!

PM me and we'll see if we can at least work on a few of them.

I hope I didn't scare ya'! I was just kidding. Sharpening my knives is one of my pleasures. It relaxes me. You do a fantastic job though!

I just got a small group of knives, most of which are unremarkable. A couple, though, are interesting, at least to me. One is this little Case stockman, which was a pleasant surprise. No date code, and no marking on any but the main blade.

The other is a Remington...seems like a pretty nice knife, fit and finish not too bad--except the shield, which looks awful. It looks like it was ultrasonically welded into the handle, leaving a mess around the edges. Is this a legit Remington?

That's a Remington R14. (Camillus 72 clone) One of three iterations that I know of.

Thanks! That's it exactly, down to the molded grooves in the handle.

I got my microscope out and got this photo--it looks to me like the shield was inserted with too much enthusiasm (do they sonic weld these in? that's what it looks like to me...). You can see where the plastic appears to have melted around the shield.

What are the other two blades? Whether sheepsfoot, spey, or pen, that knife and the Remington make a nice duo!
