What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Dextar]

I have used flitz, steelwool & wd40 and lastly 1500 grit sandpaper. None are very agressive.

and the spin parts, the sandpaper is hard to touch. I never imaged the sheath with rain will cause this, maybe they will be the permanent marks

Patience..someone may have a better solution.

nasty fuel pumps ... The in tank, on the frame, or the on the engine pump?
(some EFI have all three.)

In tank is the worst, since you have to pull the tank.
The on engine pump can be "fun" to get to sometimes, too.

A friend had a Factory V-8 Chevy Vega ("Monza") back in the late '70's.
To reach the fuel pump (AND to change the spark plugs) the engine had to be pulled.
High added expenses for repair and maintenence.
He traded it for a '66 Nova, with a supposed 327" Corvette engine equipped with dual quads.
(yes. he did put a rod through the side of the block.
Suprisingly, when starting from a stop sign, without a lead foot. )

I believe he switched to Ford and Mopar after that.

In the tank, seems its the FPCM

Winchester 3904 is hard to beat for utility. A great looking knife with three useful blades AND cool history. Love it

Sure is, nice gift from a good friend

Did you remember who you intended to vote for?? I have to take a cheat sheet to the polls these days to remind me which judges and board of education members I decided to vote for after my research.

I took a marked-up sample ballot with me for the first time. Not because I'm getting old*, but because there were so many running in this primary
I can't say I liked any of them

*just realized that I turn 64 today

Are you getting old when you forget your birthday?

Nice outside at the moment. Temp somwhere in the 70's with a steady breeze blowing. Hart to see in the pic, but those are storm clouds in the west. Local weather guru said its 50-50 whether we get a little storm or dissipates before it gets here.

after brining the knife into rain with sheath, the leftovers look like this.
Any idea how to clean it? (not sure what the leftovers are and why they are there, but seems caused by the sheath)

That's unfortunate. I say clean it with some steel wool, oil & elbow grease. Keep the action oiled & keep working it. It may work itself back smooth or at least better. You can also blow it out with compressed air during the cleaning of the action to remove the gunk & rust bits that will come out. Those little duster cans for keyboards can work well if you don't have an air compressor handy.
I do agree with Rufus1949 about trying the maintenance & tinkering part of the forum. They might have some good ideas about how to go about it. Hope you can get it satisfactory, best of luck

I agree, they might have some better answers.
