Found this new 1990 Remington, how does such a great knife go almost 30 years unused? Anyways I think I seen somewhere knives in this series was produced by Camillus?
Also this Schrade PH1 pro hunter. It also appears unused and un-carried. Good knife hunting day today
Just arrived and Fit and finish on this Case XX Barlow is one of the best I’ve ever handled on any tradional .
ThanksWhile I'm typing, you go and drop a Case Bomb on me!
Wow! Very Cool Case Barlow Coolness Indeed.
Even like the box!
They did a great job on this one !
Yep. Camillus did the Remington reissues for about 20 years or so, until they closed their doors.
My GEC Beer Scout in smooth ivory bone arrived today.

Thanks Buzz, it is a solid well built knife. Locks up solid with a nice snap,yet easy to disengage. This is my first "new old stock" type find. Icing on the cake is that I got it for a good bit less than the original price printed on the box from 1990.
There is something very special about these knives. Congratulations on owning such an extraordinary and fascinating weapon. For there is no doubt about it - That beauty is a deadly force tool. Stunning in every way.
I absolutely love it Alan. I often look at coin knives and find them enchanting. Don't own one though.

Thank you Dwight. It took several years from my original desire to completion.
Had he ever made one of these before or were you the catalyst?
I'd seen them before and there is a history of them. I don't know who currently makes them other than Jeff. You can find some older smaller varieties on the auction site. Jeff has several different ones on his web site. I'm only a consumer who wishes he was that imaginative.
Might've helped a little. The problem seems to be a combination of a strong spring and the nail nick being so close to the pivot makes it hard to get leverage. I wonder if letting it sit a few nights in the half-open position could help it flex a little easier.Hmmm, just that blade?
It could be some residue from the manufacturing process that's binding it up some.
Wash the pivot area with HOT water and soap then dry it thoroughly with a hair dryer. Then oil the pivot area and work the blades open and closed a bunch. It should improve a lot after that.
That should help some. I've done that to a couple of mine. I left them in that position for a month however. You can send it in to Case, explaining the issue, too if you feel all is lost.
Wow, beautiful scores there

I actually tried the method you told me again but this time with Dawn degreaser and boiling water. Then went all out with WD40. Seems to have helped it along further. I'm still gonna see about leaving half open at night for a while though.
Ok... Careful with the boiling water. Not sure I'd advise that. Could crack the bone covers.
I got my Boker Junior Scout today. Everything I wanted and more. Very smooth action, solid lock, fit and finish is flawless. I fits just in my smallish hands, there is no extra room.
