    Love the shape of that hawk bill ! The handle with the slight curve! The wood grain looks great as well ! Nice pick up ! I have no luck 🍀 finding any knife books myself !

    I lucked out a few months back. I was looking for a few empty boxes and found a whole box of gun smithing and a large assortment of soft and hard cover knife books in the dumpster. They date from early 1900s to present day. Like they say one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

    The Buck 302 Solitaire - is a nice one at a good price. They were USA made and now discontinued. They came from the factory with a shorter clip point blade. The blade to handle ratio looks a little odd, but it is definitely original and not reprofiled. Thanks for taking us along on your knife hunting journey!

    Great video. Nice restore of that pruning knife.
    Just a note…Leatherman are 83% USA made. Only a few of the components like files, pliers, corkscrews, etc. are outsourced from Europe and Mexico.
    I just recently found out that even some Benchmade aren’t 100% USA made. Although assembled in the US, some of the blade steels are outsourced.

    • @theknifedoctor

      ​@@theknifedoctorThanks for the information, Kevin. I did not realize that. After a little research, apparently there are a few parts on certain models that they do in fact outsource, including plier heads. All the blades are USA made which is good. I'm surprised even my Wave+, which is one of their most popular tools, does not say USA on it.

    The jump wings are junk unless they are real sterling silver. Same with my Army CIB. The Army ones today are shiny junk metal. WWII, Korean, and early Vietnam (I think)CIBs were Serling silver (92.5% real silver). I now have real silver jump wings and a CIB. If it NOT marked sterling or has a real silver mark it’s not.

    It's nothing like finding that old rusted knife and reviving it. I recently went through my great grandpa's basement and it was full of old hickory knives. I also found a old camco barlow that was rusted so I decided to clean it up. I saved a life of a old knife. Love the videos you really inspired me to get out and hunt for more knife especially the old rusted ones.

    That ding was pretty deep but an old trick I used to use on dings in wood gun stocks is a damp rag and a hot iron that would steam the wood and it would raise the dings back out, however if the wood fibers are broken like that one was it helps but won't bring them back you can sand them some but either live with them or you can use a wood filler but pretty hard to match the color of the wood, another thing on wood that is saturated with years of oil we would take the stock off and coat the wood with oven cleaner like "EASY-OFF" and set it in a warm place like a closet with a water heater or a hot garage and let set a couple days and wipe it off then spray it again and repeat as often as needed to clean the wood, its amazing how this pulls those oils out of the wood it will take several days on a gun stock on knives they are thinned and smaller so might work faster but not sure of the effect on the metal so I would say best to remove from the knife , if you have an old beater you could experiment with it to see effect on the metal.. I really like what you do keep those videos coming it is great viewing for an old timer like me, I would bet there are bunches of us old guys out there that like watching you kids!!!
