They may get rusty if you store them without properly drying after use, or leave them without washing for a long period of time after cutting high acidic food such as lemons. Those stainless steel blades are not as rust resistant as blades made of 100% stainless steel. You will find that some stainless steel blades will retain its sharpness as much as those made of carbon steel. However, most Japanese stainless steel blades are mixed with various steel materials to increase sharpness. Stainless steel is rust resistant, but less sharp than carbon steel. ↳ Suggestions, Questions, Comments, Concerns, Alerts, Etc.Thick and heavy bladed knife, almost being use as a hatchet, to chop joints off of big animals.Knife Related Creation, Modification, And Restoration Forums.↳ Schatt & Morgan Knife Collector's Forum.↳ Robeson Cutlery Company Collector's Forum.↳ Great Eastern Cutlery (GEC) Collector's Forum.↳ Cattaraugus Cutlery Collector's Forum.↳ Knife Lore - Traditional Knives From the Old Days.↳ AAPK Tips and Tricks - An Illustrated FAQ Forum on Steriods.Maybe this will start a craze among you knife mechanics.

Pocket chopper knife install#
I can only remind that it only takes a few minutes to remove the chopper blade and install a clip blade if I find one. There also may be a segment that thinks this is blasphemy to turn a Case knife into a pocket chopper. Also some of you may be saying, "how can you carry such a monstrosity?" It fits real nice into the plier pocket on the brand of carpenters jeans I have. Does not matter, I think they are cool and I always wanted one. I know what you are saying, "that is not a real practical thing".
The heat treating was done as usual for 1095 steel and the blade fit into the Case XX USA 65 frame. 1095 bar stock was used for the blank which was cut out and then the edge put on it with the file jig. I was going to make the replacement blade a chopper. Then it was like one of those deals where a light bulb appears over your head. Only one problem with this, with both edges sharpened, even when the blade is folded shut, there is a sharp edge exposed that can cut you when trying to reach into a pocket or sheath for use. Someone had modified the clip blade which was heavily resharpened, and ground an edge on the backside to make it into a double edge folding dagger. After looking it over, I decided to go with a rebuild with possibly making a new blade to replace the original clip blade. Recently I was looking in the box for a parts knife that may have had a blade that I could use when I came upon a Case folding hunter that has been residing there for several years.
Sundog and I have a communal box of POS knives that contains everything that we receive from the exchanges as well as other things we pick up over the course of the year. SMKW has Marbles and Rough Rider pocket choppers, both Chinese made because of this I elected to make my own. I don't know about you, but from the first time I saw a pocket chopper I wanted one.
