Tabled Out!

[Jack Black]

Great stuff, as always, Jack! I particularly like this one.



It is a bit of a shame about the broken pen blade, but that still seems like a perfectly useable knife. As-is, that pen blade might at least be good for cutting tape and opening packages (which is what I use a small secondary pen for most of the time anyways).

I also really like the "OIL THE JOINTS" stamps on those Burma knives.

Thanks a lot Barrett, I don't think there's much I can do to reshape that blade, so I'll probably just live with it. Think I got a bargain for £2!

I don’t know what happened to ruin the blade of this 1945 Harrison Fisher Burma Knife, looks like a series of electricians blew themselves up with it, or someone hacked through a lot of barbed wire.

I have seen similar damage caused by persons attempting to scrape corrosion from car battery terminals. Sparks and strong language!

I bet! No insulation on an all-stainless knife either!

Very cool finds! Thank you for sharing

In the incident I witnessed, the knife (which had scales) was released very close to immediately. I have a little Case stockman that had similar damage (but only on spot, not three) on the spey blade that I reshaped. The area around the damage seemed to be harder than the rest of the blade. I wonder if the three spots of damage on the Harrison Fisher knife were the result of a single extended contact, or a sign of someone who just would not learn....

Thanks for your heroic efforts in posting this thread, Jack!!
And thanks for finding this three-legged "scoop" !

 

[Stelth]

I enjoyed this thread very much. I think I need to pick up one of those ss British Army knives with the marlin spike now.

Hey Jack The first package you ever sent me contained a ring knife just like the second one you have posted on page one. I had never saw one before and had to ask you about it. I still carry that little knife a lot because I think it is very cool and it takes a mean edge.

Jack I just LOVE your Table Threads, I hope you have that Table sensibly placed over your Floor Joists?

Couple of old bread knives.



One by Lockwood Brothers, with the Firth-Brearley stamp, achieved after Harry Brearley, the inventor of stainless steel, managed to get Firth’s to comply with their contractual obligations, which they did only after a protracted fight, and only briefly. It’s a story worth reading.




Anyone who read my Wizard’s Quest series may possibly remember the cut-down Nutbrown Utility Knife – Meako will I’m sure! Well, the other breadknife is by Mr Nutbrown


Picked these up at a ‘car-boot sale’ (you may have to look that up ) last weekend, from a guy who makes them for a hobby.

You're talking about the bottle opener that the guy males right ? Because I've had both of those cheap ammo knives. They were certainly a fun cheap novelty for 3$.

Thanks Charlie, something to put in your tea-caddy! I'll put it on my Charlie pile

Thank you, Donn showed a nice contemporary version in the EDC thread yesterday - http://www.bladeforums.com/threads/...ya-totin-today.547127/page-4951#post-17250800

That's nice to hear Randy, they are cool little knives I think

Thanks pal, thinking about it occasionally causes me to lose sleep!

You said you poked up those bullet items up from a guy who makes the right ? I was wondering if you were talking about just the bottle opener on the 2 novelty knives as well, because I've seen someone at a flea market selling them claiming he made them.

 

[meako]

One of the best hauls ever.

 

[screened porch]

I have a bolstered mop 2.5" long from Lafayette/Cutlery Co/Germany that I thought was exactly like the one in post #9, but it has no concavities at the bolster-ends.

Sorry, I wasn't sure what you were referring to Yeah, the guy had a whole pile of bullet stuff, in different calibres, pens, toothpick-holders, etc. He said he made them from kits. They were about the same price. Probably the same thing, I've certainly seen similar novelty knives before

Cheers mate

I think it could very well be German Jer, I have a few others which are similar too

Nice haul Jack! Thanks for taking the time to share it! I too agree that one blade ran into some juice! I have done it myself with a wrench/spanner. Its kinda self corrective behaviour for the most part.

The last WIP/tutorial I did over at Sheaths and Such was after the software change: http://www.bladeforums.com/threads/lets-make-a-folding-knife-sheath-by-special-request.1492847/

At that time I had to post less than 20 pics and then make a comment with more pics on the post to finish it up. Has it changed again? What kind of orblems were you having?

Hey, that's a nice thread there I had expected to be able to post less than 20 pics, and I made the initial post, but it posted with lots of blue 'ink' and superfluous ''s. Then when I tried to edit it, I couldn't because the post was too long supposedly. I tried re-posting shorter and shorter sections, but I could only post a small amount of text and pics without getting an error warning saying my post was too long. In each case, I had to re-edit the post 2 or 3 times because random spaces were appearing, more blue 'ink', etc. The changes I made with edit didn't always 'take'. It was a thoroughly frustrating process I don't know what the problem was, but it certainly wasn't fun Do you upload your pics directly Dave, or use an image host (eg Photobucket, Imgur)?

Edit - Darn it! Gone blue again! maybe it's my use of ""? :rolleyes:

Second edit - Well it seems if you include u-r-l in your post, it removes that, and turns the rest blue! Hope you can make sense of my post with the words removed Dave

I noticed this thread last night, but waited for my morning coffee to give it a proper look. Thanks Jack for sticking with it through the aggravation. The content was as fun and informative to behold as always, even if posted in a different format.
