Re: Best Oil Ever (IMO)

I'm speaking in the knife world. It seems you always hear. Flush with wd-40 then apply a good lubricant. Well anyways, me personally I never use WD as a lubricant.

Re: Best Oil Ever (IMO)

I thought it was a general rule that wd 40 was a cleaner and not a lubricant.

Re: German Leverlock I made

Thanks all, Tang is TAS my initials with crappy 1/8 inch stamps. I was going to have Bill work his magic with the engraver, but I got excited and just wanted to finish it.

Italian lever mangle

Nothing fancy here. This started life as a crappy leverletto clone and I had a massaro blade laying around. I think I got it from J.A.C. . So I morphed them with some cocobolo and this is what happened. It's not the best, but I wanted to see what I could do with some scrap parts I had laying around....

So without further ado here she is. I've been carrying it for a week or so so she needs shined up again, anyways. before http...

Re: Replacement spring for vintage leverlock

It seems worth it to me. Appears to be in very nice condition and would increase the value to boot.

Re: otf knives diagrams, drawings, etc. ..

Good luck, like everyone said buy a cheap one (there are many, lightning, tomb raider, etc) and take it apart you will be very surprised how simply they work. I have considered building one from scratch. Maybe in the future!

The other in a smaller Bonsa which I did not stake. I can tell you it walked out once on me in the Bonsa but did not b...
