Nope. No hope at all for that one Greg. Just send it to me and I'll see that it's properly disposed of. :mrgreen:

A.J. Jordan Cutlery Co. 1878-1926, apparently from. St. Louis.
How's the action on that thing?
Nice big folder with lots of hope.

Yeah, you got a good one there.
I've got a Jordan around here too. Can't remember what knife it is. I'll try to dig it out.

Just like my son in law............lots of POtential there. :wink:

That's a knife that deserves some restoration effort. I'm sure one of the knife mechanics here on AAPK could make that knife look like a million bucks.

Whiskey colored bone with American Standard jigging should be a very close match to the bone that is on there.
I would definitely say it's worth the effort to repair it.

Agreed. I would try to save the pile side, and just redo the mark side. Nice one.

0078, I found my old Jordan. 4 3/8". Mine is used up a bit!, but will still cut a ham.

Definitely worth a little work. You don't see many Jordan folders and that, other than the bone, looks like a nice knife.
