Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Some of my work

This is a knife I obviously didn't make lol. Buddy had a couple old knives of his late father's, and asked if I could do anything to make them useable again. One is still sitting on my bench, I'm trying to convince him to let me redo the scales. This one is an old Western, that had a bunch of plier jaw marks on the buttcap, and the handle washers were very loose. Not to mention buggered tip and mild pitting on the blade. I dressed the blade and got rid of the rust, put a new edge and tip on. And after taking out a couple of the leather washers, I used a piece of warthog ivory to fill the gap and tighten things up. Cleaned everything up on the small belt grinder and voila. I think it turned out pretty cool.
