Car boot finds

[Sparky415]

Here some pictures of another rusty lump I brought 

Of course the cynical among you might think I wrapped the handle because it had split and I could not be bothered to start again 

[Benner]

Nice find that. 

[Sparky415]

It did look like this 

[Benner]

 

[John]

Done a good job on that mate 

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Impressive work that mate

[Tsquare]

Dare I say it, but he must have had an axe to grind.

Theres more 



Thanks Guys, You can probably guess that I'm happy with it 

[Tsquare]

More is better, at least when it comes to sharp objects.

[Neil]

Some marks to the cases but no pushed in cones and they work a treat, I'm really chuffed

If you look very carefully I think I can see a split in the handle.

Nice job on the restoration Tony.

Neil,
No letters on there that I can make out but the sides have had a good battering over the years

[Neil]

I've nearly finished a little Elwell but its progress has paused to allow me to do some customer SAK mods.  I'll post pics when its done

[Sparky415]

looking forward to the pictures Mate

Excellent job!!!  
At first I thought you were joking...

[Sparky415]

Threeme
,
No mate if you look back near the bottom of page 3 there's a picture I took on the day I brought it
I do like a rusty bargain 

Don't ask what's happened to this so far

[Benner]

 

[Sparky415]

I don't know how long to make the handle or how heavy it is yet

But I do know its going to be a bugger to swing 

[ryan1835]

Bit grubby and dull as you like but never sharpened so won't take long to bring back to good user status.

i have to say neil is a master of sak TLC how he got it from that

to this i shall never know

[Sparky415]

He is good isn't he 

[Neil]

Here's a tip.  If you are fitting translucent scales to an old SAK, spend a few minutes polishing up the bushings and out facing liners

[ryan1835]

but what was that crud on the scale? thats what im most impressed by they look new now!

What's with the funky shield on that scale?

[ryan1835]

i think thats called paint and boredom

[Andreas]

Not really a flea market or anything, but a local photo shop had a basket of "old things" out for 10NOK ($1.5) per "item". Picked up some weird things, including a 0.8x wide angle lense add-on that had a MSRP of $350 when released, and some otther stuff. Ordered an adapter so I can try the wide angle thingy on my DSLR

[Sparky415]

Last carboot of the year for the one I normally go to (its on grass)
It looked like people thought lets tidy the house and before taking it all to the tip
lets try to sell it to Sparky  

But I found a few folders and SAKs

BAK dated 1953 with a very chipped blade
BAK dated 1943 good condition for year but might be missing tin opener?  
A nice folder that need a good clean (A. W.... & SON SHEFFIELD ) 
A Taylor Eye Witness the main blade has been butchered  
A cheap folder that needs a good clean as I can't even open the blades  


 

[Neil]

Good haul Tony.  Have you worked out the name on the BAK yet?  I'll make a wild guess on the end one being Richards

 I failed to find any MTs/knives this morning but I did get myself a new amp to go with the speakers I picked up a couple of weeks ago


<ad>

Anyone jealous of Tony's BAK and fancying cleaning up and old 1943 Watts version should look here    Starting at one pound (no reserve) and ending in seven days.

</ad>

[Sparky415]

BAK dated 1953 is made by WARRISS 

The pruning knife has a weak spring and no snap
but its is looking a bit better with a nice sharp blade

The Taylor knife is looking a lot better now but I still need to
work on the blades

[Gareth]

That Taylor looks sweet mate.

[Zed]

nice finds there tony, im lucky to find a good dvd for the kids
