Here's how: The joint must be clean-both pieces. Bright metal if possible. Use a good soldering flux- I use Stay Clean liquid flux. Place a few tiny pieces of solder on the liner near the outside, and place the bolster on the liner. Heat gently with a propane torch. Lead solder does not require much...

Actually, I don't. It's easier to just peen both sides, to me.

It's a real Japanese Rizzuto. The bolsters are stainless, and are soldered to the liners. You have to remove the pins at the blade, rear, and center of the knife, then remove the pins holding the scales on. The scales will break. Then you get inside the knife and finally realize that it is practical...

The problem with Hubertus knives IS the easily replaceable spring. Unless it is firmly seated, the blade won't open fully, and it can break the backspring. The replaceable spring is "necessary" on these knives, but it works itself out of place easily. 90% of the problems with these can be solved by ...

Importation was not allowed from WW2 until 1950. U.S. switchblade importation was stopped in 1958. That ...

I have one just like it. Your knife is listed in the 1931 Weltersbach catalog as the model #26. It is a strange knife as it has both a shellpuller blade and shell puller bolsters. I suspect yours was made after 1950. It is a fine old knife.

If you want to do it right, the Microtec UT-6 is the way to go. The slide button is on the side, so it is ambidextrous. The steel is excellent. The action is dual-action-so it won't open in his pocket. Pop is probably worth the $225 or so one will cost you. Father's day is coming up. There are the c...

Let me put it this way: the seller of the "turn of the century" knife was caught red-handed selling reworked knives with new markings. He disappointed a lot of us.
BTW- the ivory is way too new.

There is one on the site that is real.
