"Reviving a Vintage 1970 10 Dot USA Made Case XX from eBay: Restoration Journey"

[@allanclose4181]

That knife you cleaned up needs the area inside the middle groove cleaned where the blade hooks on inside the groove, then the knife will close all the way. If you noticed the ''Tip"will stick out and maybe cut you if there is lint or dirt inside. When properly cleaned the blade will snap shut. I have over a 5 gallon bucket full of older Old Timers, Buck, Schrade, Case and others, hunting knives also. Been at this crazy buying for 54 years , and yes i like that feeling of the knife in the pocket ! I feel naked without one in my pocket.I enjoy the knives that have been sharpened and show blade wear the most. I'm 71 years old now and have started putting them in picture boxes on the wall. Happy blade hunting.

you ought to try and take apart sever SAK's and then rebuild them to your own design. There are so many parts and videos on how to do it available.

[@myke321321321]

Thank you, Good info!

[@cloycespears9632]

If you take a large screw driver or some sort of wedge at the end of the bolster you can gently pry the bolster a part at that knife will have a fantastic snap.

[@philipstephan5451]

That gray color that was in the foe gigging looked kind of like J B Weld to me. But it sure lookes good now thats for sure. Cheers.😊

The slimline trapper is my favorite Case XX knife. Great job on this one, I've just subscribed. :) I like to restore old pocket knives, but I don't have the nice gear that you have for buffing and sharpening... but I'll get it some day, no doubt. I have a Camillus stockman that the main blade will barely snap some of the time, then it'll stop again. The spring does rise above the liner seemingly far enough to allow the blade to snap, and like I said, it'll snap sometimes (a little, not strong) and not snap at all at other times. I think the problem is dirt and/or some corrosion on the sides of the blade, sandwiched around the pivot hole. Working the blade back and forth moves that dirt around (on this Camillus I'm currently fooling with), but it doesn't come out. I've considered submerging the knife in some kerosene or maybe Marvel Mystery Oil and opening and closing the blade several times, which might (might?) clean up the gunk on the sides of the blade's pivot point, and the brass liners also. If I ever try this, I'll let you know. :)

Turn on to your channel after reviewing your gift to 2nd chance George!😊 Will be following👍 Enjoyed the restore efforts on the CASE 10 dot. Your team explanations are spot on👍

[@theknifedoctor]

Awesome!! Welcome Aboard! I love his channel!!

[@Tommy.461]

I been carrying a queen steel #11 that has the same size and shape as that for 20 years.

[@theknifedoctor]

Awesome!!

[@jamesdickinson5173]

Ever use Flitz metal polish ? It works great on the bolsters .

[@theknifedoctor]

I haven't tried it. Thanks for suggestion and thanks for the support!

[@BCVS777]

Great videos! I remember my dad having 2 of those knives in the early seventies. I notice you, like a lot of guys, pronounce Victorinox as Victori-a-nox but there is no “a” in the word.😊

[@theknifedoctor]

LOL. Thanks. I don't mean to do it. It just comes out that way. LOL

[@earlbargen4695]

I have a similar age Case Peanut with Delrin scales. I have cleaned the scales up before (they had a similar "white -ish" look as yours did). They get back to the brown colour with a bit of work but if I put it back in storage the "white" stuff comes back after a few months. I wonder if it is just the old plastic (Delrin) oxidizing or something?

[@paulhanley5811]

are you sure you aint General Patton with that backdrop , good stuff , see ya soon

[@joshuaswanson7070]

The Victorinox with the hooked blade is a florists knife.

[@jamesfranks7472]

[@davidjones9518]

[@theknifedoctor]

Remington Gun Oil. Good Stuff!

[@brisapp]

Thanks. Love the knife restorations

[@StevenMoney]

I’m curious now. I just wonder what your keychain looks like. I wouldn’t be surprised if it had 12 knives hanging on it.

[@theknifedoctor]

LOL. No, I just have a Victorinox SD Classic on both sets.

[@Crashlighting]

What was the reason not to run the blade over the fiber wheel?

[@theknifedoctor]

I did. I just didn’t show it on video.

[@getdanet1]

I have a very similar knife that I purchased from the USAF PX at Clark field in the Philippine Islands in 1967. Part number is 61048. I also have another CASE knife that belonged to my Father. the number n it is 61023 or 61093. The 3rd number is worn to where I can't read it iven with a magnifying glass.

[@theknifedoctor]
