Re: Wilh. Weltersbach Weidmannsheil

Very nice knife, love the bone handles. I recall they closed up shop in the early 1990's, but did not know the part about knives being assembled later etc - interesting and thanks. Here is my example in Stag. I also bought mine in the early 2000's, not sure if it was part of the extra inventory, mos...

Re: AGA 13" Batwing Problem

I think the light filing of the liners around the front bolsters, on my knife at least, was really key. Once I did this the results greatly improved, so I kept working on this area.

Re: AGA 13" Batwing Problem

Hi Gents - Re-read this thread and spent some time working on the Batwing the last couple of days. Steps taken as follows: 1. Carefully tightened the guards. One guard nice and tight, other guard still has a bit of play, but overall better. 2. As Bill suggested, lightly filed the liners around the f...

Re: 13" AGA picklocks circa 2003

Very nice. Your dark horn is very similar to mine. French tip is also very nice. I too still have COA letters. The factory pics are great!

Re: AGA 13" Batwing Problem

Img_8627 in texans123's third post is what I call "scissoring". (If he had linked the photo instead of attaching it, I could have used it here to make my response more clear.) In any case, I don't buy Bill's response exactly as he stated it. The problem is the guards acting differently on opening i...

Re: AGA 13" Batwing Problem

Texans, I have three of these knives and two of them have this same problem occasionally. I have one that has almost no play in the guards when opened. It's the one that opens perfectly. The other two have some play or slack in the guards when opened and they occasionally hang up like yours. But, n...
