All About Pocket Knives

So, I started the evening with a $4.00 flea market 1975 Delrin Case 6235 1/2, got bored, and ended up with a new EDC 6135 1/2.
It has great walk and talk, and it cuts! Might do a little more blending of the bolster pins tomorrow, but for now it's bedtime!

.... WELL, I for one am NOT buying it! .... there has to be more to it then a simple tap, tap, tap here and there and a tap, tap, tap there and here and there.... I suspect some other power is at work here... ... something more is afoot!

Well, the Wizard had to edit his post. I stupidly put that it was a 6131 1/2 when it was a 6135 1/2. The Wizard was tired...

Good recovery

Nice work!

Thanks so much, GDogg! I hate to see a good knife go to the junk drawer!

It's called being cheap!!
Everything I'm any good at was learned because I didn't have the money to pay someone to fix things for me!

Thanks GC! I hate to see an old knife or an old guitar go to waste!

First of all: Great job! I might have held off and looked around for a back spring, but a good knife 'now' is a lot better than a 'someday maybe'!!!

Secondly: where can you find a broken Case for $4?????
When I find them with all the blades broken off, they want at least $20!!

I guess that means you did doubly well.

Thanks Reverand! I found it at a local estate sale. They had it marked $30.00! I pointed out the broken spring, and they came down to $4.00
when I purchased something else with it.
I figured that if I ever come across another spring, I'll just slap it in and put it back as a two blade. But, for right now, I'm really wondering why
Case never made a 6135 1/2. I really like the feel and size of it. I have a few of the others, and love them too. The more the merrier!

Thanks,

Kerry

Not quite, TOPDOG... The secret lies within. You must stare into the orb, until it reveals itself..

...... Noooooooo!!!!
