Round up those Cattle Knives!!

[waynorth]

Wards made by Winchester I believe. It is my favorite with it's sunken joints.

Nice Ward's!! Great handles on it!!

I have this one that I love to carry. It has so many useful options.
I live in a deserty area. With no half stops, and instead rounded tangs, I can really feel the grit getting pulled through the spring when I open each blade. Has anyone else experienced this?
I’m going to blow it out with compressed air before next use.

Torture for a knife!! I don't know how you'd keep the grit out, except for frequent cleanings!! Maybe use graphite, not oil??

Yes, it does not feel good to open at all! Frequent cleanings and a dry lube like graphite might be the way, thanks!

They really had something wonderful figured out with the old jr cattle knives.

I like that Schrade made them with clip blades! Most other manufacturers used spear blades!

Well John JohnDF , you could have told us about it. How you came to be with it. Things like that. What year is it from? Are you going to use it to smear peanut butter on your sandwich today?

It's a nice one.

A wonderful gift from Charlie.
My first Case Cattle Knife, I love it.
Probably won't get used for much more than pictures and admiration.
The blade etch says it's from 1989.
Thanks for asking.

That's a great idea, I think. Unless the joints of a knife are too tight for it to get in. I have some graphite around here somewhere.

"Made in USA" is all the knife says.

This is what is required, sprays right into the joints, leave it for 24 hours to cure. As an aside, fantastic for older car key ignitions, helps to stop the barrel wearing out, and really good in car door locks.

The stuff I have around here is powder in a tube.

But this sprays into hard to get into places, like knife joints.

Yes, I'll have to get some of that. The powder is ok for pipe organ tracker slides, but I can't see it for pocket knives. Put the knife in a baggie of powder and shake it? No, I'm convinced.

No mate, i don't think i would be doing that either.
