OTHER KNIFE REPAIR

“Other Knives” is a term coined by the Wood Bee Carver to name the carving knives made for personal use. In 2020 several of these knives were made for carving miniatures that required smaller blades. Salvaged blades from old pocket knives were used in the process of inserting a wire in the tang hole of […]

Comment by Michael Squier on February 26, 2015 at 9:35: Re-shaped the blade, wharbcliffe style. i also put a filler of walnut in the handle to stop the blade from closing to far, now I can easily open it without the nail groove.

Comment by Michael Squier on February 25, 2015 at 19:25: I did a bit of work on the no 6, shaped the blade on my small belt sander and it worked great and made a filler to keep the shorter blade from closing too far. You'll have to wait till tomorrow for a picture.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on February 25, 2015 at 16:05: I think you made a good choice with the No. 6, Michael.

Comment by Michael Squier on February 25, 2015 at 13:27: Ok, finaly got to the cheese shop and here is my new Opinel before hacking it up. I chose a number 6 because I like the small size and the logo stamp was further back on the blade so it wont be in the way of re shaping. The larger 7 or 8 may have been a better choice though as they have a thicker blade, oh well next time. The new 6 is posing next to my mod 80's number 8.

Comment by Michael Squier on February 23, 2015 at 8:39: thanks John, im guessing its from early in the last century. It came out of a drawer of my dads and im sure he saved it from his dad who may even have kept it from his. Most pf my pocket knives came to me that way, some from tool box'sand some from old desk drawers that havent been emptied in my lifetime. my family throws out very little. and thats can be agood thing.

In Memoriam Comment by John McCain on February 22, 2015 at 15:28: Michael, that Linden may be a fairly old knife---That style of lined pearl and sculpted bolsters was pretty popular in the early 1900's-- I have an Argyle Cutlery tuxedo pen circa 1910-1930 with the same style pearl-- Just saying
