Thank you Ryan.
Thank you Floyd.
Nothing wrong with that Skip. The shield is worth that and who knows, you might be able to work some magic. Be fun trying.New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Sat Jun 27, 2020 2:43 pmThank you Floyd.What got my attention was the "Sunshine Biscuit" shield. I'm not saying that it's a rare knife, but I've only seen one of these and that was quite awhile ago. Of course, that one was in immaculate condition. But I got this for $8, with the tax and shipping. So.........

Very nice Jerry. I've got three older Victorinox none older than 1980. So this will be the first newer one I've purchased. All have served well, although I don't know how I loose the tooth picks from time to time.jerryd6818 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 26, 2020 2:15 pm Very similar to this EvoGrip S18. I love it. It just refuses to move from my desk to a folder and I don't push it because I enjoy admiring it. For $36 it's a real bargain.If anything should ever happen to my Whitebuffalo58 custom Camillus 72, the EvoGrip S18 is next in line for my pocket.
Beautiful Case Barlow Ryan. Great condition and scales on that one.
Looks like a good project to pursue. Also be a good "Show & Tell" project during your journey. Look forward to it buddy.New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Sat Jun 27, 2020 12:16 am I just bought this "knife" for best offer. It's a CAMILLUS, single blade, two tools, "Sunshine Biscuits" (shield) pocket knife. Besides the blade, the tools are supposed to be a cap lifter/bottle opener and a can opener. It looks like it's a 3 or 4 line tang stamp. I don't know what I'm going to do with it. But when it arrives, it'll get a helluva cleaning. Per the seller, the tools are rusted shut. Here it is, not my pictures.
Very nice additions for the Cook Shop for sure!!Stanwade wrote: ↑Sat Jun 27, 2020 10:53 am Have fun with that one Skip!I picked up this Case carving knife and fork set on eBay. It will go nicely with my kitchen knife collection... I got it dirt-cheap so that's always good!
Edit 7:21 am--I just picked up this queen cutlery kitchen knife from Etsy this morning... I love the rosewood handles on this knife!
Nice Trio of Knives. PAL Cutlery knives don't show up a lot. But are pretty well made knives. Here is a good thread on them. viewtopic.php?t=6012
I'll be honest with you Smitty. I don't have the knowledge to restore this, or any other knife. I may be able to take it apart. I may be able to remove SOME of the rust. But to clean everything, put new handles on it and reassemble the knife, the biggest virtue that I'm lacking is PATIENCE. I have absolutely none. What will happen, after much swearing and throwing of temper tantrums, is that this knife will end up at the bottom of the lake. I may try to have it restored by one of the VERY talented AAPK artisans.Papa Bones wrote: ↑Sat Jun 27, 2020 2:50 pmLooks like a good project to pursue.

Like yourself, I would lack confidence in trying to repair or replace parts. I probably would have the patience for the cleaning, polishing and even removing the scales, but like yourself, I would try to have someone else replace any parts or the scales. But.........try to refrain from throwing it in a lake.New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Sat Jun 27, 2020 3:44 pmI'll be honest with you Smitty. I don't have the knowledge to restore this, or any other knife.

Nice one Skip!New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Sat Jun 27, 2020 6:48 pm This morning I bought this knife. It will be added to my "South Of The Border" collection. It is an IMPERIAL, 2 blade, 1 tool (corkscrew), "HECHO EN MEXICO" pocket knife. It also has a "Deer Head" on the handle, this qualifies it for zoo residency. This knife "brand" is part of the Imperial and Colonial, Mexico story/connection. It appears to be in good condition. When I receive it, I'll give it the once over, take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).
