Old timers

No respect is right. My first knife was a schrade and I still have it along with a collection of old timers and uncle henry's. Well made knifes and have held up for years. I'll post some pic's later of the small collection I have.

Well, I am going to re-pin the pivot with a 1/8" dia brass rod. Because..well I don't have a 1/8" dia nickel silver rod to replace the original.

Got a nifty Vintage 33 OT yesterday. She was clean on the outside but there was 20+ years of Pocket lint inside her. The opening and closing snap greatly improve with a Tooth pick scraping, scalding hot water rinse & WD40 shower. After a quick blast of air from our air compressor, a light coat of oil. She snaps as well as the New Old Stock items I got from Ron James. But she has character(patina).

Brad,

I like that you cleaned out the working but left the patina. Allowing her to keep her character and well earned patina was a nice sign of respect

I just won a 13OT on eBay for under $8 shipped! It will be here Tuesday. But, I won't be, vacation...it will have wait for me. I waited for one to come to auction that didn't have a starting bid over $100.
