The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel
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.
Good job!! Looks like new!
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
That's a classic you got there Brad! Good old 33OT.
Another nice one!
Looks like you're on your way to being the "Guardian of Old Timers"! lol
I will be an Old Timer by time I collect them all. I do have some collection criteria.
That's a real nice one Brad.
