Comment by Brett Van Winkle on October 27, 2010 at 8:30: I'm looking for American and English folding knives for repair/resroration, rare classic patterns from the 1800's to early 1900's. Buy one or all good examples. Thank you. bvw

Comment by Terry Waldele on May 26, 2010 at 2:49: Hey, guys! Dig this multi-tool I just finished. I call it the Extreme Modification Multi-tool.
