Recently started making a few of these little 7″ pocket fixed blades, one for me, and 3 for friends. 3/32″ 1095 high carbon steel, will have probably copper or brass pins, and various handle materials.
And, this week I got a new project pocket knife. It’s an old Schrade USA stockman .
Was helping a buddy clean up some tools in his shop and yard, and found this in with some tools he’d had in a truck box that leaked.
He said I could have it if I thought I could do anything with it… Naturally I said Sure! ;)😎
Gonna give it the spa treatment soon. Shown with my Case 4.125″ slim trapper for scale.
Looks like it needs some cola, er, I mean, rust remover…..
I would do that, but I want some knife left to use… thinking I’ll go with something Less caustic than Coke… like ATF, or Gasoline… or Hydrochloric acid , even that is weaker than Coke 😉
