Hello again all, I have found a place over here where I can get a gravity style knife like the colt search and rescue. The only problem is that it has a rescue blade on it. (with a hook tip and serrations). To get to the point... Where, if anywhere, can normal blades for these be purchased? The blad...

I spose I should contribute as well...... at least theres a nice view to distract from my ugly head. **Beware computer screens may crack** http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0TAAdA8AWamUGbJtdBxy9qSiYU4A2Jw!etBKUlMFCdq3oj28vpNup7!8aquk2AM4p6S4Lw5Aan1rSPiPBLGV2oD!lW*VEnoWsSE6kf6tl8f9C4huGI7vspA/Photoz%2004...

Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated. Buying a whole kit probably would be the best thing to do except I already have one of the kits but I lost the damn scales :x So if I get the kit, ill still be left with a knife with no scales. Ill most likely just end up making some but I think I might ha...

I agree about it being cheaper and easier and I would love to be able to buy them ready made, but being in a "bubble wrapped" country I have to do everything the hard way. It would be a good time waster anyway, instead of watching reality tv that works off a script.

Can a knife like this be converted to automatic? If so how? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2265392863&ssPageName=STRK:MEBI:IT Is it as simple as just drilling and putting in spring and button etc etc? Or is it even not worth doing? :? Also, Does anyone have any old scales...

Does anyone know if there are OTF kits available? Or even if there are any Otfs that can be taken apart and put back together fairly easily?
Any imput would be appreciated
Thanks from Quicksnap

Thanks for the info guys, Thats a SWEEEEET knife you got there spotlight. Do you get ratchet knives in other styles or do they only realy do them in the spanish knives like spotlights?

Ok, thanks for the advice. Ill give it a try.

Can anyone tell me about the inner workings of a ratchet knife? And what the point is of having it. Thanks

Oh well i guess once again Im all alone in the great Brown South.

Has anyone ever done any scales with ivory? I have a cheap 7" stilleto which I lost the scales of and I found a chunk of ivory when I was cleaning out my grandmas house. I just want to know if a. Does it look good. (if anyone has any pics please tell me) and b. Is it fairly easy to work with. Also i...

Thanks heaps teddy! They aren't the best pics but i had to do them fast before my camera ran out of batteries.

This is an old knife I found a few years ago. Up until the other day I had never seen another knife like it. I'm still not sure about its history if anyone knows anything about it any feedback would be welcome. It does need to be cleaned up but im worried about damaging the inlay on the blade. *Hope...

Thanks alot jerrbear! Finally I have found another one. Mines a lot older though but basically the same. Ill post a pic of it if I can fix my stoopid camera. Thanks again!

Nice knife :) I have an old one almost exactly the same except it has a picture on the blade and the scales are different. Its a bit worn though and needs a GOOD clean up. Does anyone know if these can be converted to autos? I know there wouldn't be much use for it but it would still be cool. You ca...
