Northwoods 15?

Yes Blademan/Jamie you nailed that picture of the Ivory! Shows the grain nicely. Makes the anticipation for mine to arrive even more pronounced. Thank You Very Much, Lloyd

Thanks, glad I could help. The stars must have aligned as with my pictures you can generally just about make out a knife.... ;)
 
Nice looking redsparrow! That's a high-ridin' blade there, it looks like.

I did it again, just because this one looked so strange. Again, thanks Derrick! And your pictures are the best compositions, the knives look excellent!





look deeeeep:

That's great!!
I'm hoping the Ivory sells out soon...I just don't know how much longer I can hold out, (without buying one).:D:D They look perfect.
ENJOY!!
 
From previous page: "My 15 has a mushy snap while closing (back in the frame). I gave it a WD40 bath, followed by warm-soapy cleaning, drying and oiling. It has improved, but still doesn't crisply go back in the frame. I hope it improves over time. Anyone experience this?"

Yes, mine does too. My assumption is it's due to some dust/gunk in the pivot area. I have not done anything to it yet, except handle it. Is there some other explanation for this such as design geometry or ?? None of my other GEC's do this.

kj, I had a TC Barlow that was real lazy. I did the flush thing, but it never really started getting snappy until I opened and closed it about 12,406 times. Yes, I'm exaggerating, but I opened and closed a lot. It took time, about a week of fiddling with it while watching TV. Caution: fiddle carefully. :) I've gotten more cuts that way than anything! Anyway, it's snappy now. It's gunk, just hard to get out. I think there is metallic gunk in there also from the manufacturing process.

I had another 15 that had a little bit of that problem. Did the same thing and it is snappy now, too.
 
Dean, thanks for your explanation. Could this be a too tight pivot pin so that liners are gripping the blade tang ? Then, after 12,406 'cycles' the metal surfaces abraded each other such that the liners put less pressure on the tang allowing the spring tension to snap the blade shut ?
I have zero cutlering experience so i do not know if my explanation is plausible.

Could possibly have something to do with that, Joseph. Hard to know why it is but Dean is right, I had the same issue, though not as extreme maybe, with blue one. It is already snapping back in the frame better now. I used gun scrubber spray in the knife joints then saturated it in oil a couple times, while working the blade back and forth, cleaning out that gunk till I got it where it should be.
