OK. What if I get it for $50? NH

re: FJ Gravity knife at auction
If it were that kind of price, then I guess it would be OK. Up to you.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: FJ Gravity knife at auction
I have an original "Take down" version of this knife with a broken blade. I think I could use the blade from your knife to repair mine. Do you still have the knife and would you consider selling it?

Unfortunately, even for 50 bucks, I think you'd end up with 50 dollars sitting forever in a "possible projects" box that will never be able to have the needed work done to it. These gravity knives were almost all individually tooled and assembled, so there Really isn't all that much you can do with one that's only partially there. Best save your money and put it towards a decent one. More costly, but in the long run, a solid investment. William

Re: FJ Gravity knife at auction
No photos yet. Just got it from my deceased cousin's tool box. Individually made for sure as the parts are all numbered. I could use a Dremel tool to machine off interference. I'm told that the blades used for new models and reproductions will work. I requested a quote for a replacement blade from Cole Distributing who sells a new German Parachutist's gravity knife: see Cope's Distributing
I'll let this discussion know how it works out when all is done with a few pics. I was initially considering fabricating a blade from Walmart cooking knife but I have not yet checked what's on the shelves to find a match.
