John Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock
(MADE IN JAPAN) for 6 am.
While his coffee pot(MADE IN CHINA)was perking, he shaved with his
electric razor(MADE IN HONG KONG). He put on a dress shirt(MADE IN SRI LANKA),
designer jeans(MADE IN SINGAPORE)and tennis shoes(MADE IN KOREA).
After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet(MADE IN INDIA),
he sat down with his calculator(MADE IN MEXICO)
to see how much he could spend today.
After setting his watch(MADE IN TAIWAN)to the radio(MADE IN INDIA),
he got in his car(MADE IN GERMANY)and went and filled it with GAS
(from Saudi Arabia).
John set out to continue his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.
At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day, John came home and checked
his Computer(made in MALAYSIA),for any possibilities...No Luck!
John decided to relax for a while,so He put on his sandals(MADE IN BRAZIL),
poured himself a glass of wine(MADE IN FRANCE)and turned on his TV(MADE IN INDONESIA), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in AMERICA.
AND NOW HE'S HOPING HE CAN GET HELP FROM A PRESIDENT MADE IN KENYA

URGENT: Pro-Knife Bill Needs Your Help!
Please sign this petition to support New Hampshire pro-knife bill HB1665 written by Rep.Jenn Coffey. The New Hampshire House will consider the bill later this year.
The effect of petitions is often nil. Online versions carry even less weight. Should you even sign the thing? Yes. Definitely yes. Even if you don't live in New Hampshire, should this bill get passed and put into law it would set a president for other states to pass similar bills. Unlike other petitions, this one has some heavy backe… Continue

The Death of Vintage Knife Collecting
First of all let me state, the content of this blog is based simply on my observations over the past 30 years of collecting and dealing in vintage knives. Nothing written is based on statistical facts…just my observations and opinions.
Thirty years ago I started collecting knives. I collected most Case brand but I also collected Winchester, Remington, Cattaraugus, and a few others. I used to go to every gun and knife show around and even traveled out of state to attend NKCA and the smaller knif… Continue

desiccants are fine in a SEALED application to reduce humidity,but in a open situation like a gun safe or wooden cabinet WORTHLESS. why? because they will absorb just so much humidity, then are "saturated" and are rendered useless.to rejuvenate the…
KG the flipper action is a bit tight when compared to other flippers.
Any of you use desiccants to protect your collections? If so, where do you live, (how humid?) and in what what do you keep your knives? (I make drawer cases for all manner of collectors -and lots of knife collectors- and wonder if I ought to help th…
I thought I'd jump in here and "end" this thread:
I did send the knife into Case Repair fellowing the instructions on the website. I intentionally tried to forget about the knife so I wouldn't drive myself crazy haunting the mailbox every morning i…
I suppose it all depends on the 'defendant's" political leanings. Seems to me that the enlightened left can get away with murder (or switch-blades), while the conservative folks get in trouble for saying 'dang-it' after something heavy lands on thei…
One has to be careful with WD-40 use, Only 10% of its ingredients are non-hazardous, the rest can be considered hazardous to varying degrees. The following is from the WD-40 Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS):

Thanks for the positive comment,The leather stamps are made from nails.
Man that sure is a beauty,hard core all the way! Gotta love that sheath ,all that leather stacked !!
wow! yeah that's a fantastic list.
I think you need to add WD-40 or a similar product to help remove dirty oil from the pivots of folders or any moving parts and to help loosen stuck screws.
another item would be lok-tite or a similar product to s…
Add a can of Ren Wax to keep them nice and purdy and I also use a little bag of Silica gel to keep the moisture out !
You sure did a good list though! One doesn't even think of all the stuff that you use and accumulate.
