Vintage Double Hose

Nice find! Alan will know, he did a lot of work with them few years ago.

I believe the pommel (end cap) is blind screwed onto the tang of the blade. I have never tried to take one apart. The blades varied from no serrations to different number of teeth, most likely a result of different manufacturers. I would try to remove any rust without taking the knife apart.
The stainless steel of the metal is just that it stains less, not rust impervious.

Thanks Alan, you da man!

I've got two Vulcans and as per normal one has a cracked sheath. However whoever owned this knife before drilled a small hole on either side of the sheath to prevent further cracking. Both knives are in good working order so I intend to begin using one of them and alternating them from time to time.

I'm not usually one to shy away from tearing into something, but I don't think I would take my Vulcan apart without knowing for sure how that piece is attached.

Bill, next time I need some body part x-rayed I'll just stick a Vulcan close by and see what it shows. Radiologists must get that all the time.

I worked for a 3rd rate ambulance service when I was putting myself through college in the 70's. My boss and I were bringing a patient with a broken leg to the ER when I got my finger slammed in the ambulance door. My cheap skate boss talked the X-ray tech into letting me place my hand next to the patients leg to get it x-rayed for free. It was broken so we splinted it up with an aluminum frog splint and it healed up OK. He just did not want a workmans comp claim.
