Thanks gentlemen. I think the spacer would have strengthened the snap. It's good but there are stronger ones.
Doesn't matter; it's working days are done. J.O'.

As of this morning, this is now my most recent addition to my wire handle/frame, pocket knife collection. It's a GEO. SCHRADE, single blade, wire handle/frame, hawkbill pruner. It needed a bit of cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

This afternoon I'm adding this "FRANKENKNIFE" to my wire-jack collection. I was wondering how long it would take for one of these to emerge. It's only three pieces, the handle, the blade and a pin. Or, in this case, a nail. When I saw it, I knew that I had to have it. It has the normal wire handle/frame. The blade however, is a L F & C (Landers Frary & Clark) USA blade. I don't believe that this was an attempt by the seller to deceive potential buyers. I think that somewhere in the history of this pocket knife, a previous owner broke two different pocket knives and rather than buy a new one or new ones, he put the surviving parts together and made this one. But.......who knows for sure. Anyway, I cleaned it up a bit, took some pictures and here it is.

Yes definitely a blade replacement, the pin is a cut down nail!

Interesting repurpose. Looks like it could have been made to be a whittler. Neat find.

That is an interesting addition to your collection Skip. I'm guessing that the wire jack frame was used in that way many times due to its easy access.New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Thu Mar 04, 2021 11:14 pm This afternoon I'm adding this "FRANKENKNIFE" to my wire-jack collection.
