edge9001 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I recently bought a small trunk full of smithing atuff. the seller told his graddad used to be a blacksmith and he made knives. I got a small box of brass plates and bone handle scales. the plates, I'm not sure of the name for them they are the kind of plates you find in a folding knife, lining the blade slot. If anyone is interested, I'll post a few pics to give you an idea of what I have. anyone have anyidea what these things are worth to a knife maker. My blades tend to be hawks and straight bladed knives. I don't make folders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Mayo Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Tim the brass plates are called liners i have no idea what they are worth not much but the bone scales might be worth posting some pics. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge9001 Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 here is a picture of the kinds of things I got. I have a mixed box full of these things the box is the size of a red brick, only about 3 inches longer. an even mix of the brass liners and the spacer bar that goes down the back of a folder. the scales I have it turns out are from what seems to be knife repairs. I have a few oldtimer scales and several cracked and broken scales, none of them appear usable. I also have this one knife, It looks like a work in progress, since the blade is too long for the handle. I might have to finish this one and keep it.
