Thanks for the help

does anyone know a source where I could find replacement springs for vintage schrade, hammer brand ect autos that are of the leaf spring design. I appreciate any help that you can offer.

Thanks. You don't normally have to disassemble them to replace the handles. I'm not doing auto conversions (yet). I pop the old handles off and fit new ones then attach with pins and/or glue

thanks everyone. I think I'll hold onto it. I like it

Bill yes, someone did a meteokre job of cleaning it, I was going to re-do it properly. thanks for your input

thanks everyone. Duh, I rechecked it (didn't get much sleep last night) it does say springer, NOT switcher. no tang stamp. I contacted a good friend who collects old autos and is quite knowledgeable about them. He says most were made by boker, some domestic and some foreign. He says in Germany Boker...

this one is marked switcher on the rear bolster. Old I think, but new to me., real strong spring.

thanks everyone! might put some turquoise on one of the leverlettos when I get them, might put canvas micarta on the other one.

yes the stuff is brittle and will break but I don't drop my knives on a daily basis

here is a linder I finished yesterday with turquoise and filework. Itching to get my leverletto kits now! http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e340/crosmansniper/customized%20and%20repaired%20knives%20by%20me/stillettos%20and%20switchblades/linerlever.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e340/crosmans...

that grind is just awsome!

Thank you everyone!

Yes the handles are fake impala horn, waterbuffalo horn jigged to look like impala, I like it on 110's

Heres a 110 I just finished today. I narrowed the frame and bolsters, shortened the bolsters, thinned the bolsters, rounded the bolsters, narrowed the blade, changed it to a modified clip and flatground it. Some vine filework and thin jigged waterbuffalo horn scales http://i42.photobucket.com/albums...
