Re: Switchblade repair
Or someone had parts from 2 different knives and mated the two in order to sell a "complete" but ugly whole. That way he could realize more than he could from 2 incomplete knives good only for parts.john wrote:Someone drank a little bit too much vino
BTW, anyone have a theory where the handle was made? The top bolsters are a bit weird looking to me.

The bottom bolsters look a bit weird to me too.

Re: Switchblade repair
Wondering if the hole in the pic could be welded, the back of the tang ground off and the hole drilled a little farther back to make it open all the way. Or am I dreaming.

That could be done-if the knife were worth it.

Re: Switchblade repair
OK,but then the sear hole could well be out of alignment with the sear rendering the button mechanism useless. Yet another hole to fill and re-drill. As Bill says, extensive work would be necessary to get this POS into some semblance of working order, if ever!sammy the blade wrote:Wondering if the hole in the pic could be welded, the back of the tang ground off and the hole drilled a little farther back to make it open all the way.

Re: Switchblade repair
Considering the shape of the blade, and the lack of any stamp or ID, the best thing to do would be to make a new blade.

That knife looks superb with the new blade .Love the overall shape of it with the larger bottom bolster ,looks sleek and deadly .
Glad you got it fixed as I havnt seen one quite like it before.

Re: Switchblade repair
Lol, that's awesome. So how is that knife in terms of quality? And did you find out anything more about its origin?
