Buck... I think. (Abuse inclosed)

So this morning one of my technicians came to me to come look at what was found inside of our processing machine. I think it's a buck but honestly, I have never seen a knife that looks so bad. I guess my question is two fold. Do you think it's a Buck and if so, is there anything that can be done to salvage it? I have never seen this kind of rust and corrosion on a blade before and was wondering if there is a product/solvent that could do this poor guy any good at all. Break out your Kleenex, it's bad. :eek:

Sorry for crappy cell phone pics...

Wow, what was that thing soaking in? Anyway, I don't think it's a Buck, the bolster shape is wrong from what I can see.

You are kidding about trying to salvage it, right?:eek:
 
I agree not a Buck-I'd like to see what it would look like if someone took a run at it-not very high hopes of it looking less than disfigured even after a premium spa.
 
Looking at the shape of the bolsters, I would venture a guess that this is a Schrade model. Their LB7 model closely resembled the Buck 110 and they may have made another slightly smaller model that was essentially the same shape...along the lines of the 110/112 big and little brother duo. Whatever the case, Schrade would be my quick guess.

Something akin to restoring the Titanic I think. ;)
 
What kind of processing do you guys do?!?!?

Another vote for it not being a Buck.
 
I was kinda being facetious but it would be nice to get enough off of it to see what it is. :) I'm sure the flitz will bring the mirror shine right back. :D We process equipment and we use a detergent as well as an acid for corrosive residue so in light of that, I'm amazed that it is still (somewhat) in one piece. But, I was curious if there is anything to soak it in that might get enough off of it to see who survived the ordeal. I guess I am just in awe to see a knife this messed up.
 
Might even be a Keen-Kutter. This one is in stag, but I have a wood handled one somewhere. The shape of the rear bolster seems to be similar if not the same. Could be a Bear also, they made the Keen-Kutter.

Looks like a schrade based on the square looking bolsters. That being said, I think its dead.
 
I would think a Shrade, or Sharp brand knife from the frame design. The only one that I have with the pin configuration is a Shrade. HL
 
I think it might be a schrade as well. I have LB7 here at the house that I am going to take to work this morning and put up next to it for comparison. Then, it's on to the trash. I soaked it in navel jelly and it cleaned one spot on the blade and that was it. I'll snap a side by side before I toss it.
 
Close but I'm not sure. The grind line is in a different spot and not knowing the Schrade history I don't know if there were changes to the model over the years. Here are the comparison shots but it just doesn't line up well enough for me to say for sure.
