Re: WTB Shell Puller

Ricks knife blade is not the JC style. I decided to make mine form a kit and had to buy and fit the blade later. The 3knives blade is more the style. Rather nice blade.

Re: Making Italian Scales

Thanks for the offer Jim. I'll try and make one first. I have a doming block that I can make the button. Your drawing was a big help. He's on a fixed income so a pro make over isn't in his budget.

Re: Making Italian Scales

Jim do you have a pattern for the safety or dimensions I can work off of?

Making Italian Scales

Hi. Got a bag of clean parts from a friend. All parts are there except the safety. it is an 8" OAL knife stamped Italy. The horn scales cracked off it and it means a lot to my army buddy to get this fixed for him. I'm sure I can redo it if I can get tips on how to rehandle one. Any tips or tutorials...

Re: Burn OTF

It is breathtaking!! That is an engineering master piece. I'm stunned. Strong enough for everyday use or a collectors piece?

Re: WTB: NATO military otf.

Picked up 4 project ones. Main bodys and blades are like new. I'm lucky to have access to a laser so I made blade lock springs for all of them. All function good. Now I just need to cast some handles and buttons or find some scrap ones. Thanks for everyones suggestions and offers.

Re: JC Blade Scale Type?

JC Blade Scale Type?

So what type of scales was the actual Johnny Cade Shell Puller blade? Where they stag scales, imitation textured dark scales? I have both so tell me what I need to make it as close to the movie scales. Thanks you guys!!!

Might try an AKC 077 concord. Nice everyday carry for about $90.

Re: WTB: NATO military otf.

Guess the one I'm looking for is like the super automatic. I'd bid on the Greece one but that's a bit far. Nice knife though.

WTB: NATO military otf.

Looking for a used pinned black and silver NATO military style otf. Don't need a high dollar collector grade one and no box is fine . Just looking for a lower priced one for nostalgia sake. Had one in the 80's. Thanks for looking.
