Looks good, can you tell us a little about it?

Re: Another to my collection
It's 11"dark horn with a small piece missing at the end bolster. The blade is kind of scratched up and loose, and the slide lock is missing the cap. I am going to send the knife to Bill for the lock and blade work. I am really happy with the it as it is my very first 1960's knife.
Re: Another to my collection
Looks good Scott and I'm so glad you sound very happy! Congrats on your positive purchase. I just know you'll be even happier when it returns from Bill's. Keep us posted!

Re: Another to my collection
Thanks guys, and yes it will be better with cap and blade tightened up. Thats's probably as far as I am going with it in fear of losing the worth of it.

Scottman . Good for you. Looks like a nice knife. You will be very happy with it when you get it back from Bill all fix the way you want it . Hope you don't catch the switchblade bug. It can get very expensive. Good Luck..
Re: Another to my collection
Good decision to bring it back without going over the top.

I am going to try to not buy anymore, though it is tempting as all get out. I have six and thats probably good enough for me.
Re: Another to my collection
I've tried to "not buy anymore" and failed miserably. I can't resist temptation. Six is a good number but don't settle for "good enough". Get out there and spend you savings, emergency account, children's college fund and the money you have set aside to bury you. I'm sure you can do it just like the rest of us have. LOL.
