lope pins are just the sharp sticks to hold the vines, Besides your paps best pocket knife you can make a great one with and old carbon blade pareing knife with two rivets, cut the handle and blade down and sharpen u will have a life time knife for the garden/skining/widdlin as we call it here in the hills,The carbon blades are getting hard to find. PW i bet your pap allways had the answers because he took the time to whittle and think. GOD BLESS, Treetop

If you havent cleaned them for a long time the carbon ones will have rust but u can clean them up, also your carbons are a dull or gray your stainless will be the crome looking ones, in my book nothing like a carbon.TT
