After card sharp discussion I start to thinking abou one new idea! Maybe we need to make our own knife designe? We all see in manufactured knife designe some minuses like too bad materials, uncomfortable handle, bad shape of the blade ...
Maybe we need to start a draw, share our ideas on the paper and than put them here? Maybe we can designe a new classic or modern patterns? What do you think? Of course we need to be ready, that our ideas can be used by some knife manufacturers or custom makers! Thats why friends please write all + and - of new project and then we will decide, do we need it or not!?

Have a nice day!
Ivars.

Nice to see you Joe!

@ Jim .. soap, H2O, & pressurized air wk great .. but require additional patience. In absence of patience .. use pressurized solvent.

I used valve lapping compound to loosen this knife up .. been EDC 'ing it since. It was originally "break a nail" stiff .

Yeah, I bet brake cleaner could play havoc with plastics and wood finishes. I'd maybe try that, introducing it with a syringe right into the joint, and then, once most of the lapping compound was flushed out and/or "put into solution", use good old soap and water in large quantity and pressure.

I'm just now seeing that this Palistani horseman's knife is replaceable for just US$9.00 so there's not much to lose.

@ Ivars: I didn't have have a match -- I quit smoking 11 years ago -- but inserted a small piece of "business card" and it did work like you say.

Note: I'd only class the short punch blade as non-openable. I'm wondering if that has something to do with the fact that it shares a backspring with the sharpened hoof pick at the other end. It might just be a little easier to open the punch when the hook is already opened.

@ Dale and Jim

My friend has a Fin pocket knife, which he can’t open. He makes a simple thing! He takes a match, cut of the brimstone and put it in to the knife, under the blade. Blade don't close till the end, and you can easier open knife with fingers :D

I oild grandads knife, but any way, it is too tight!

Dale your idea is good! Need to tru it! I have one german knife,which I can't open with my finger nails!

@ Jim .. use with caution .. head to the local auto-parts store & pick up some valve lapping compound .. it often comes packaged in 2 grits .. fine & finer .. introduce a small bit of the "finer" into the slipjoint .. work the slipjoint a bunch of times .. you'll know when to stop.

 

Now .. the fun difficult critical part .. remove all the abrasive valve lapping compound. Brake cleaner has been suggested .. beware the scales !! 

 

Note: If the abrasive is not fully removed .. it will continue abrading !!!

BTW: I wonder if there's some fix for a too-hard-to-open knife other than taking it apart and filing some metal away. I oiled mine and that helpd a bit.

Pakistan made a lot of knives, if I'm right, even Frost cutlery have a factory in Pakistan. Pakistan make a lot of unusual hand made knives, which you cant find anywhere else!

For example this knife: 50$ from one guy here in Latvia. Than somwhere else this knife costs ~25$

Ivars had said:
On the back of the catalog was company adress: city country: Pakistan.  And on knife was a sticker (made in pakistan). Thats why I think it is made in pakistan. I don't know maybe my hoof is a clone of some US made hoof?

No, you're probably correct. I read an article about the cutlery industry in Pakistan -- apparently quite active and accomplished. It's a shame that they're not pround enough of their work to want to sign it by stamping their tangs.

About hoof knife!

699.00$ I better buy many cheap knives, like RR and Frost :D

 

I was buy it in Riga (my city) in one fishermans store. And guy who show me knives, show me a catalog with these knives, there was many others, I don't remember all, but I saw there 3 types of congress knives and two types of hoof knives. I don't remember the second hoof!

On the back of the catalog was company adress: city country: Pakistan.  And on knife was a sticker (made in pakistan). Thats why I think it is made in pakistan. I don't know maybe my hoof is a clone of some US made hoof?

I think sparkles are guilty! :D

You see Jim I don't use sharpening stones for my pocket knives, I just keep them razor sharp with honing steel and leather, sometimes use Gerber diamond sharpener.  This month I need a new knife for him. I have ordered for a RR gunstock stockman.

 

I hope, I it will get it next week! I will make it razor sharp and then I will present it for him, and show how knife can be sharp and how to keep it sharp!

 I hope he will be happy!
