After 25 years of collecting Damascus lock backs I purchased my first three automatic knives this month, thus starting in a new direction . . . Why not combine your appreciation for Damascus lockbacks with your new-found enjoyment of automatics? Take a look at http://www.sunfishforge.com/index.html...

Not seen one that cheap before, could you give any feedback on it ?. I don't have any experience with the "cheap one." I just saw the knife offered for sale on a site I visit for C&R guns. As for it being cheap, that's about what the Colts were going for on close-out. I think I paid $40 for mine ne...

I had one of the Colts. It wouldn't lock up on "opening." In other words gravity often would not make the blade lock reliably. Once you locked it by pulling on the blade with your fingers, just a little bit of rearward pressure would often unlock it. Like others said: Crap. That being said, you migh...

I've got an mint condition AFO in the box I'd like to sell. The buy/sell area is just for paying members, right? I don't really want to go to the trouble of setting up a sellers account at the auction sites for this one knife. Do you think it would be risky to post it on a public forum like the rec....

My guess is that the other people here are collecting, but not letting anything go... :wink: Oh, I don't know. There might be someone who reads this board occasionally but isn't as active in switches as they once were. Perhaps that person wanted to raise a little cash for a purchase and had a coupl...

I think the usual approach is just to keep buying more and more knives in hope that eventually you'll find a few perfect ones . . .

Every single one of these I sold, broke and I had to refund the money on them. I'm glad they worked for someone [I think :lol: ] Tough break. That's got to bite. In my case I don't even remember who I bought it from so I couldn't ask for money back if it broke if I wanted to. Beyond that, I've cert...

I've been using mine as my main box packing/opening knife for several months now. I rarely cut anything more than styrofoam and packing tape but the action has been cycled several hundred times at least. Still working fine. I've been meaning to buy another one or two but all the ones I've seen latel...

I don't see anything wrong with what Big Ed asked. Hell, if I lived close by to someone I've been talkin to here on the forum through out these years I'd be more than happy to meet and shoot the shit. I have no one in my area that collects knives. Man, if Teq, Hoody, M.P.E. or any of the guys I tal...

I would like to meet someone on this forum in person. I want to learn as much as I can about switchblades, and I think the best way to do that is to talk to someone in person. I live about 12 miles from Chattanooa, TN I don't know. I've learned a lot just by reading the banter here on this board. T...

Simichrome Metal Polish is as good as anything. Or you can do what I did when I first got into this obsession. I fired up the old buffing wheel and put the blade to it. Of course, the wheel caught the blade and ripped the knife out of my hands sending it flying across the shop. Fortunately there wa...

Fellas, fellas, fellas . . . he's a cur dog. Don't feed him. Don't pet him. Don't talk to him.

IF anyone wants a poor imitation I've got a Colt Search and Rescue I'll gladly trade for something that flips open with a spring at the touch of a button.

Rats.. As I have stated elsewhere... li'le t has now outstayed his welcome.. he has been invited.. both publicly and via PM.. to take his problems to another forum.. ANY other forum.. .. we had a lot of fun playing with him... or was he playing with us ?? .. we shall never know for sure... but I'm ...
