Enclosed is some photos of a couple of knives that I have in my collection that I use as teaching tools, as to what not to do to a knife. However they are fairly valuable knives. The one is a Case Tested XX and the other is a Union Cut Co Automatic knife. I have a couple of questions. In your opinion do you think these would be worth repairing? If so, who would be a good person to contact? Also does anyone know the exact model/name of the Union Cut Co? Comment: the Union Cut Co Automatic is no longer functioning in the auto open mode. Any opinions or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance of any help you can give.

Great looking old knives.Yes,they are worth repairing.TbarK custom knives specializies in antique switchblades.
 
If you haven't called them already, get in touch with Case about refurbishing the Folding Hunter. They've been known to do that kind of work. I'm a member of the Case Collector's Club, and I see articles about this sort of thing in the Club magazine that I get in the mail. They likely wouldn't be able to replace blades on a knife that old, but it looks as if the back scale is the only thing that really needs work? They might be able to replace that fairly easily. It's especially good that the front scale's still in good shape w/the original shield (or at least it appears to be in your pics).

Edited to add:
You might also post your question & pics in the 'Traditional' knives subforum. Lot's of expertise there about the older knives.
