glennbad, that thought has occurred to me. When I make up my mind, might I pm you?[/quote]

I wasn't fishing, but I'd be happy to chat with you on something like that. Thanks for considering me.

I didn't take it that way. I've admired your customizations of these since you started posting them. I just haven't decided what I want to do re handles, blade(s), bolsters.

I'll be in touch

Just got this Solingen in the mail from France. It's distributed by Gustav Genschow (GECO). See his stamp on a lot of old ammo and firearms, but on a blade seems to be quit rare, either way, nice Solingen for $28.00 shipping included.

2 knice fixed blades mansolingen!!

Nice, set of knifes, luv me some german knifes.

Been a while since I scored a knife at an estate sale but I grabbed this Gerber lockback #92773 made in Portland, OR today.......needs to be cleaned

Scott,
That's one of the ways I like to find a worthwhile knife! I bet it'll look like a new one when you get done with it! That's one of them ol' big 'uns too !

Thanks for the vote of confidence Philip........her she is....lookin' a little better.

Holy crap Scott. Looking a WHOLE LOT better. You wouldn't know it's the same knife.

Scott, you put that one right through the wash cycle. Good job.

Thanks Joe & Jerry

Nice job as usual Scott, you brought that one right back to life...

Here's a nice big Case 62031 1/2.
What a solid knife. 3 3/4"
Thanks for looking.

That's a fine old Case! I could carry that one around and be proud. Almost want to call her a HOK but looks like she's been shined up a bit, but that's okay with me . I would like to have been guilty of finding her.
Treefarmer

Thanks Phillip, you're right, it did get shined up. To bad really. Looking close you can tell there was some corrosion on the blades. She lost some of her age marks, but all of the mechanical qualities one gets from this era of Case is still there. Springs are almost too strong for me. Both blades have 1/2 stops.

Nice find Joe love them jacks

Thanks dogg.

That's one heck of a knife Joe. I have one and it snaps like a bear trap. You hold it in your hand and you just feel the strength the knife has built into it.

Sweet find Joe! ::envy::

Thanks guys. It really is a piece of work. I'm glad to have it.

She is a beauty Joe

Thank you, Scott.

Beautiful Jack FRJ, never get tired of seeing these, one of my favorite patterns

Here's a few flea market finds that I came across...United Japan rope knife, IXL George Wostenholm, Rodgers Sheffield, and Premier Germany pen.

cheers

Well Brother, You went to the right flea market, not a junker in the bunch !
Treefarmer

Thanks Treefarmer...I only posted the nice ones. Believe me, I went home with a pile of junkers as well...I couldn't resist.
