I use one all the time, still hate the feeling of it, but after it dries out you feel great.
The worst is when you're all done, cleaned up, and then find out like five minutes later there is a pocket of saline somewhere up there that comes rushing out at a random time. Helps to keep one on their toes.![]()
I would, his in the hell do you remove those scales without breaking them??Yall might think this is interesting... So about a year ago I was given this old Imperial Kamp-King... The knife was completely screwed... All the tools/blades were locked up, bent, rusted, and all other manners of messed up... After soaking it in oil for a day or two I got the main blade to break free and well it had so much wobble I thought it might fall out on its own even though it would only open about halfway... Seriously I think someone beat this knife through a center block with another center block... Long story short I refurbed it to working order... but it still had weak springs and the tools about ripped your nail off to get out... (had to peen everything again to get it to hold together making it too tight I think....) so last night I tore it down again... The pins were bent all out of shape causing the issues... Think I am going to turn it into a single blade sheepsfoot or something, just need to find some new pinstock and go back together with it after some reshaping...
After first oil soak and got the main blade free.. This was as far as it would open.
Here is after the refurb I did, but I was still not happy with it, so I started over. Probably going to have to find new larger pinstock and redrill cause the pivot hole is egged out..
Ill finish one of these days... lol
What, has the talk about the Neti pot died out?

It probably is, but if you have regular sinus issues, once you get over the absolute weirdness of flushing your sinuses with saline, it helps so much you almost can't stop. I mean it genuinely helps.

I've got an old colonial "forest master" , same knife-boyscout pattern, that I would like to snug no with.
