Good Evening!I acquired an old axe head a few years ago and I never thought much about it. I found it in an old barn and the owner gave it to me as junk. I had sort of planned on cleaning it,…Continue

USN Mk2 - rebuild

Essentially a complete rebuild. I wanted to find one for my father-in-law for Christmas, but the cost of one in good condition was cost prohibitive. My FIL retired from the Navy shortly after Vietnam, and from his stories and comments, I came to the…

"None of those things sound like much fun. Not very relaxing or enjoyable at all. Is everything looking (feeling) better now?"

"Always good to hear from you Lars! Actually, this is my first PAL knife. I have almost made a point of avoiding them before now. Of the ones that could be associated with PAL... The RH44 is a Remington Dupont.(1938) The Mk1 is a Robeson…"

A recently acquired WWII combat knife

I was able to add a PAL RH-36 to my little collection recently. The sheath is original but a bit rough. The knife itself was in decent condition once I was able to clean it up a little bit. No significant dings on the pommel, a near full blade (measures ≈ 6-3/32" from the guard), and the leather disc handle is in good condition).From various features, I believe that…See More

As for sending private messages, this is just fine - but if you truely want to send a private message - use the iKC email - upper right hand corner of your page in the area of your name, sign out, Fried requests, etc...

I wanted to start a formal stand-alone CFK group, but I could not accurately gauge if it would be accepted or not - so I started the it as a sub-group in the Box Full of Knives Box of Knives. I'm glad i did - as I commented to Lead Left Knife Guy , I seem to be the only one playing in that sand box at the moment, and I'm not sure my ego could manage no one join a group! LoL!

Right now it looks like it's just my thread....but if you add a post to it, then it will be as it is intended - a place to appreciate the CFK/iPAC brand.
