TalkBlade.Info Knife Forums

I discovered the interesting Rob Dalton OTF knife in my late father's collection. It's pretty wild looking and at first I was afraid to open it.

Thanks Twobit. I'll try the polishing paste + elbow grease route this weekend and report back.

A number of years ago I bought a kitchen knife for my mother from a custom maker named Parkinson. I just reacquired the knife from her as she is no longer able to cook. The knife blade is very stained. Any advice on bringing it back, or has that ship sailed?

Jules, very interesting info. Thanks!

Really cool. Thanks for sharing.

Is this the same knife? I have seen them in many colors. Mine is blue. It opens and closes very strongly.

I appreciate the education, guys (and gals?).

...according to the above chart, 1988 to present.

Ah, I was asleep at the switch! Thanks.

A few weeks ago I posted a group photo that included a couple of Spanish Hellraisers. At the time I had no idea what I even had, as I inherited most of the collection and still am in learning mode! But I was certain that I had another one, with fixed bolsters, and here it is. I like it a lot. IMG_69...

I finally found my "NATO" OTF knife, as I suggested back in December! After I took these photos, the knife stopped opening... it is now stuck in the closed position.

Here are better photos of the shellpuller.

I took some better photos of the Hellraiser.

Jerry, thanks for your expertise. I will take your advice and not build it. What I will do with it, I don't know!

Beautiful. Thanks Gustin.
