Thanks, Jackalope!
I did the original price guide for Andy Russell when he originally reprinted that catalog in the 1970s.

Re: Pin stock? And Italian switchblade repair
There is no place that sells those items. (there is one, but he's a crook.)
You'll have to make them or buy parts knives.

I don't sell the factory Leverlettos, but I can probably tell you where to find one.

Re: Pin stock? And Italian switchblade repair
1.: Ebay 2.: Generally they can just be punched out, but filing off heads and drilling is sometimes required. 3.: Depends on what you are repairing. I keep an assortment of every size pin that I can find, and I still have to turn some down to exact size. For modern Italians, .070, .081, and 2mm bras...

Website update
I updated www.billdeshivs.com with a new "Library" category.
I have put a few things there already, with more to come.

Re: Is it possible??
Sure. Buy a tube of Simichrome polish, or NeverDull.
Use either very sparingly- being careful to make sure all residue is wiped from between the bolsters and handles, or any other crevices.
Costs about $15 shipped.

Re: AGA 13" Batwing Problem
Actually, the knife was made by Mr. Pascotto for Mr. Campolin.
It can be fixed correctly here, rather than risking sending it back to Italy.

Part time job
Wow! I'm trying to keep my cutler business part time.
I could work at it full time for a couple of months! Having to ask customers to hold off for a month or so.
I guess that's a good thing.

Re: Random shop pictures
It's a steel-making process that involves forging different steels together. Today it is mainly used to produce patterns in the steel.
Early use was to improve the quality of steel for blades.

Here's a little custom knife I made in 2013.

Re: Chain drive curiosity
Apparently, they have a coil spring that pulls the chain. The sprocket is on the blade pivot.
