I have an original Remington bullet knife, model 1253 that needs repairing.  I am looking for recommendations as to a good repair shop.  

Thanks.

Ran into an old and obscure brand I had never seen.  K. & B.  Anyone know anything about this one or have a source?

I picked up this J. Russell & Co. Green River Works knife at an antique flea market for 5 dollars.  It appears to be forged as you can see the hammer marks on the surface.  The handle is held by one pin that enters the handle from the top.  I have not seen a Green River like this before and wondered if anyone would have any idea of vintage.

Neat knife Don, and you can’t beat the price. Have you done any more research to decide if it is really as old as you think? I’m no expert so I won’t make any assumptions, but I do love those old American knives.

I recently purchased this 10-1/2" "blade bowie" style knife from a local junk store. I believe this to be a civil war period handmade knife possibly carried by a Confederate soldier, brought home and put away only to be forgotten about. It appears to be Southern style due to materials and crudeness. The blade is forged and filed with razor sharp clip point. The hardened leather sheath liner is zinc and the handle with two sized wood screws is hard maple. This is crudeness at its finest but is 100% for functionality. I just couldn't pass up this piece of history for $10. The store keeper said it was found with another bunch of "junk" in a house being torn down. I welcome all comments at my email address  pithole@zoominternet.net
