Very nice looking knife. How does one fix side to side play on a pinned slipjoint? I only own a couple, kind of a newb to traditional knives.

Edit.. Sorry, I'm referring to this post where you quoted your quote from another thread. You said the drop point had a little side to side but it would be an easy fix.

Similar to the other reply, I wrap the bolster in leather (I use an old fixed blade sheath) and tap it tight with a dead blow hammer. This will make the pivot pin slightly proud on the bolster. Then you use a flat punch and peen the pin so it won't loosen up again and sand and buff the pin back flush. I use a nail file that I got a while back from an online retailer and you can go by hand and put a mirror finish back on everything. Total time spent was about 10-15 minutes and took out all of the side to side blade play.

Only thing to be careful about is if you get it too tight, you can slow down the walk-and-talk of the blades. If you get it too tight, a couple taps on the blade when open will open it back up. Generally though with gec knives, it just takes a few small taps to take it out and the walk and talk is still good because of the strong Springs.
 
*sigh* Another Case Peanut. My local hardware store carries a VERY small selection of Case knives, along with a bunch of Steel Warrior. :barf: I've purchased and given away more Peanuts, Tiny Trappers and CV Stockmans than I care to admit.
 
My newest arrived today . Northfield 18 in Natural Stag





And with one of my normal carries , the 73 , for size comparison

Newest addition: Trestle Pines Portage Barlow, handles made from old growth ash, 154CM steel, brass liners & pins. Superbly hand crafted, feels smooth as silk in the hand.

 
Got my Made in the USA Old Timer 108OT Junior Pocket Knife. It was used and the Spey blade was broken off about an1/2 inch. 45 minutes with my file and Stones I made a new point and trimmed down the kick so the new point was covered when closed.

So much character in the stag on that little 18! If I didn't have one in hand now, I'd swear that was a full sized knife. GEC definitely got it right on that one!
 
Harry Let me add to the enthusiasm for your Stag Coyote, a stunning little number and rather rare I'd say-considering most of the dealer pix I've seen of the Stag Yotes- mostly unappealing frankly!

Sonny That's a very fine picture of the Trestle Pine, nice backround! You can see that it's well finished too. Some people have moaned the traditional moan that Drop Points aren't part of the 'traditional' Barlow but I disagree. Such thinking would never have seen a Wharncliffe on a Trapper or a Barlow, Stainless of any knind, or if you think about it, no multi blade knives at all etc etc ;) Too bad I've got expenses on the horizon that means no knives for a while, otherwise I would've snapped up a Walnut one:grumpy:
