Just a question to find out if anyone else has experienced this. I'll post pics when I can get the time to snap a few.
I found a Case Temperite this weekend and was happy to pay the $10 that the dealer had asked for it. The blade was in great shape with minimal hone wear. It appears that someone had smeared Vaseline (?) on the blade before storing it away, which may have saved the blade from much corrosion.
Although I like the transparent amber scales and they appear to be in good shape, it looks like I'll have to remove them and replace them with something else since I realized that the blade doesn't fit in the scales properly. The blade is centered and pivots smoothly, but the point of the blade overlaps and catches on the wedge for over 1/16". Has anyone else seen scales shrink in length before?
Just curious.
