Some of the larger models also had the cap lifter feature. The smaller blades did not have a fuller IIRC. I see you are from New England;I grew up in a small town about 10 miles north of Boston.Couldn't pay me enough money to live there now;the traffic is horrendous!

I think the mark may be EGW which stands for E.G. Waterman;a maker of knives for the military(but not military issue)during WWII.The giveaway is the ring used to hold the pommel and handle to the knife. They came in two different sizes.Yours looks to be the smaller of the two and less common...

Sounds like you have it pretty well covered and I will look forward to seeing the completed knife. Sounds like you might have a Marbles Woodcraft pattern that was one of their most popular knives. The one I have also suffered from deteriorating leather discs(I removed two)and was the reason I...

I would make sure that the leather discs are compressed fairly tight before starting any shaping.I made a tool to tighten the pommel nut by taking an old flat screwdriver and filing a notch in the center of the tip so it just fits over the tang threads. To shape it I would cover the blade edge...

If I recall correctly the Alloy Artifacts site said they were a popular set for Model T Ford owners.Ford stopped making Model T's in 1927.

My G-20 set.

Found this little gem at a garage sale on Saturday for $5.Marked,"Woldert Grocery Co. Tyler Texas & Chicago" on the handle.Body is marked,"Squirrel Catcher Patented May 13 1913". Clamps to a table either horizontally or vertically and requires pressure on the jaw to actuate the ratcheting...

While cruising through the antique shop today looking for knives I came across these two little gems. Called a "Lil Sharpy" one is a 2" by 5/8ths inch single cut file mounted on a bent rod with a handle on one end and a knob on the other. Designed to file into areas not normally accessible it...

Thanks for all the replies. I tried shaving with a straight razor many years ago but gave it up as being too difficult to learn. My ex-wife was a hair dresser and used one every day with no problems. Unfortunately I am not able to shave at all anymore due to some pretty severe surgery on my neck...

Not your average "tool" and if it is inappropriate for this forum please remove it. While I was downtown yesterday picking up a couple of watch batteries I wandered into one of the four antique shops we have in the downtown area. I recently scored a nice S&K machinists' tool box here and wasn't...

Here is a picture of an old Kennedy box(one of several)that I own.This one does not have slides in it or are the drawers easily removable.The lock tabs that retain the drawers have to be driven down with a drift punch to release them.This one has additional drawers but the style of the inner lid...

Wow! Yours is in a lot better shape than mine! I had to buy it(yeah....it's an addiction;but I can stop...........any time..........if I have to. Lucked out and got it for $45.

Here are a few before the new liners

Well seeing as how nobody seemed interested in it I bought it this afternoon.It is actually in great shape and has most of the original paint on it intact albeit a bit discolored.I am pretty sure that it was manufactured by Kennedy although the drawer stops aren't like anything I've seen before...

While visiting a local antique shop this afternoon I came across an old machinists' tool box(5 drawer plus the top)with an S-K plaque attached to the front and remnants of the old S-K green paint. It is actually in very good shape and looks like it could have been made by Kennedy(the old square...

Last one.

Here are some more tool kits. These were made by many manufacturers and in varying sizes. Some of the more elaborate ones(mostly of German manufacture)included all types of tools. The most popular ones had two handles for holding the various tools and were able to be inserted both parallel to...

The outside frame is spring steel and the tools have slight grooves in the sides to lock them into the open and closed position. Each one swings out individually. If you look at the pic of the screwdriver blade int the partial open position you can see the groove. Here are a few more from my...

Having been a collector of knives ever since the age of 10(a long time ago!)I thought I might post some pictures of the ones I have accumulated over the years. In the interest of keeping it on topic,I will try and post only those that are actually multi-purpose tools. Hope you enjoy them and...
