Thank you

As has this Sears Dunlap.
Not very beat up but I'm happy to have this Dasco, made right here in town.

Neither blade had any snap at all, and after I had it apart I can see why. The roundover is badly worn, but the biggest problem is the pin holes in the blades are greatly oversize from wear.

Possibly, but the pin would be huge. Could also weld it shut and redrill with a carbide bit.1967redrider wrote: ↑Fri Nov 19, 2021 11:02 pmOLDE CUTLER wrote: ↑Fri Nov 19, 2021 9:38 pm This Boker folding hunter has to be one of the most worn out knives I have ever seen.

Can you just drill it bigger and use bigger pin stock to fix this, OC?
I personally don't own a welder, so I recently drilled some blades and bolsters out to 3/16". I keep a little 3/16" pin stock, so it was no problem.OLDE CUTLER wrote: ↑Fri Nov 19, 2021 11:44 pmPossibly, but the pin would be huge.

There is one more option too. If I can find a piece of tiny tubing with a 1/8" hole in it, I could drill a new hole in the blade equal to the OD of the tubing and cut off a piece of tubing to make a bushing.Reverand wrote: ↑Sat Nov 20, 2021 3:47 pmI personally don't own a welder, so I recently drilled some blades and bolsters out to 3/16".

But I like the idea of welding up the hole and redrilling just a tad further from the tang (to restore the snap).
I have seen other knife mechanics do that. It is more work, but the results are great.
Either way, that knife looks well worth restoring!
I have some brass tubing, but I have difficulty in finding any pin stock that is the same as the ID. I tried peening in a solid piece of brass one time, then drilling out the center, but that didn't work for me. It was recommended to me afterward to solder in the brass, then drill it.OLDE CUTLER wrote: ↑Sat Nov 20, 2021 5:48 pmThere is one more option too.
