Not Micarta.

I do have one Micarta, which Beltrame called "White Oak". I also have 2 w/wood scales, but I can't recall which each one is. Brain farts are happening more often these days!

Re: Picklock sharpening fails

As just about every Italian stiletto that was imported before 1958 was a NOVELTY item, it's not surprising that they can't be sharpened. More of a function of the quality off the steel than anything else, I think. I've seen a few (and I own one) where the "sharpening" (attempt) has taken away a good...

Re: ISO F Beltrame Swinguard

Not for nuthin, but... Frank B. 11" swingers seem to be a little scarce these days. Those that have them are hanging on to them. I've got a few in the more common scales and a couple in the harder to find group. There is a video on You Tube that a gentleman shows an 11" w/Bamboo scales. Brown wood w...

Re: SHARPERDEALS

I've bought more than a few knives from Bernie and have always been happy with the price, quality, and delivery. Sorry that he is not on SD's any more, but that sight, which I like and have bought a lot from, seems to be circling the drain. The auction page doesn't seem to have much on it any more; ...
