Oh man I have opened up a can of worms -its a subject I think that has always raised questions, I remember reading the process where in Solingen they used to Boil the bone? - But I am glad I am not the only one to wonder?
Thank you for your patience with me guys when I ask these questions....
Gev - thats an awesome idea, lets go see Stan, I have about 27 hours of flying to get there - do you guys wanna wait till then, I want you to show us the scales of your knife cut in half - under this microscope my friend! I would expect nothing else

Nice pickup Jack,I like to find the mirror finish among the rust and patina.It authenticates the original beauty that's lost with age.

Super knives and pictures:
It looks like Gevonovich might have been on an old knife quest while he was away.![]()
I also assume that not only did the pressers become super skilled at the work...

I sure appreciate your help, my friend. I certainly recognize that tool on the first page of the .pdf!! Not as pretty as yours( man I love that tool - oh no another hobby). Thanks for looking and maybe someone will come up with something yet. I think you idea about putting the .pdf resources and links in a sticky is a fantastic one!!!
The doctors knife is a dandy and so is the old Castor Oil jar.
He has certainly found some treasure!:thumbup:
They certainly must have had plenty of practice. I've always thought that old Sheffield stag is hard to beat, I guess all the secrets got passed down over generations of workmen. Probably lost long ago for the most part.
Thanks a lot my friend, happy to try and help. I still have an old fork for you here! Have to ask Gary and Frank about the PDFs, I know we're kind of chocker-block with stickies, but it'd be good to have somewhere to put this stuff where it can be easily accessed :thumbup:
