They offer a large selection of folding knives as well. I would recommend the CRKT Lake 111, it comes at avery affordable price of around 40.00. It also has a good Rockwell rating, this is a rating given to knives that states how well the blade will hold an edge and the quality of the steel. This particular knife has a 58-59 rating most have around a 56. The knife also has a safety feature that will keep the knife secured in the Pocket and turns it into a fixed blade when open. I personally carry the CRKT M-21 and the knife works extremely well. I would recommend looking at A.G.Russell.com to view a complete and large selection of knives.<br><b>References : </b><br> CRKT (columbia River Knife and Tool) Makes some high quality knives for a reasonable price.

What need to do is use hot water,as hot as you can stand it, with a little clhorine bleach in it. Wipe the blade dry. Then use a light oil like a gun oil and polish it with a microfibre cloth as not to scratch it. Then NEVER EVER touch the blade bare handed again! You will never get it to look brand new but you can perservre it this way.<br><b>References : </b><br>Antiuqes Roadshow milatia experts from both the europe and states shows Sorry but the spots probally already stained the blade's petina.

I just got one at Wally World for about $27.00. It is a real Buck. Has a nylon sheath which is better for camping than a leather sheath. The sheath will protect the knife better and it is handier than a pocket clip. You can mount the nylon sheath horizontally or vertically. You can wear it on your belt or on your pack strap. It is not a tactical knife. It takes 2 hands to open and 2 to close. But it locks up tight and can handle rough use. It is sharp out of the box. With a little effort, you can make it razor sharp.<br><b>References : </b><br> Buck 110 - has everything but a pocket clip. I just got one at Wally World for about $27.00. It is a real Buck.

]]> Comment on How do you clean a pocket knife so it will open? by LBS_CNT_THNK http://www.vintageknives.org/pocket-knife/how-do-you-clean-a-pocket-knife-so-it-will-open/comment-page-1#comment-74 LBS_CNT_THNK Tue, 07 Apr 2009 09:56:59 +0000 http://www.vintageknives.org/pocket-knife/how-do-you-clean-a-pocket-knife-so-it-will-open#comment-74 Get a spray can of WD-40 to use on the knife. Just put the knife into a basin that can get dirty, then spray the crap out of it inside and out. Work the action of the knife until it opens smoothly. If it is still dirty after you get it working, you can run it under HOT water, the HOTTEST you can get it from the sink. Use hot water because it will evaporate pretty quickly, and by drying it with a towel then lightly coating it with WD-40 you can prevent further rust. Good luck.<br><b>References : </b><br>20 years experience with knives. Get a spray can of WD-40 to use on the knife.
