I stumbled on to something might try again. I used a few drops of Sea Foam fuel treatment on the joints to loosen and clean them up. It worked quickly and great. Not only that but it immediately brought out the color on the handles that were bleached out. I didn't intend to use it on the handles but accidentally got some on them. Anyway I'm pretty happy with how it came out with some more cleaning sharpening.
It'll be interesting to see if the handles keep that color. 
Great work, Doug! That came out great! That Seafoam is versatile stuff!Doug51 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 29, 2024 4:31 pm Wanted to share a couple before and after pics of the $2 Schrade improved muskrat I bought yesterday.

These are getting scarce in this condition.
Many thanks Mark !!
What a great design, Iman. And that clever bolster trigger is very cool. Great pics as always.Ivoryman wrote: ↑Sat Jun 29, 2024 10:09 pm Nice pick ups gents, Robpa, that is killer horn, and age, and condition. GSP, like that. Marco another beauty. Sweet Coleman CCC. Dullest knife, RRRick, nice all of ya.
Not usually an auto man but picked up a few lately. Here's a Cobratech Trapper that is surprisingly good. Seventy nine smakers, free ship. Excellent action, fit, finish, centering, everything great but the disappointing color in the covers. They could have been a lot better, might make some of my own. But outherwise this blows away the AKC, and Krate Tactical that I had recently. They were so wobbly and clunky and uncomfortable in the pocket I had to let them go. This is a keeper. Cool sliding bolster trigger and release. Very smooth and no button or lever in the way.
Thank you Kerry !!toomanyknives wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2024 12:39 amThat's a real beauty, Tony! Love the color, and it looks very well made!Corn Creek Cutlery wrote: ↑Sat Jun 29, 2024 8:24 pm Fine Brisa TopDog !!

Glad you like it Tony. Nice picture of that one. Sowbellies are my favorite pattern of all and that is one good looking sowbelly.Corn Creek Cutlery wrote: ↑Sat Jun 29, 2024 8:24 pm Fine Brisa TopDog !!
