I love and enjoy repairing and customizing knives. This knife I don't know what to do with. This knife below was in a house fire. It came to me rusted and burnt and the sheath is very burnt and rock solid. I am an ex-paramedic firefighter so I know the heat hit this thing and then it got drowned...
Count, I appreciate your comments and corrections. I agree with what you say! In this case Restore and or Customize? My example was not a good one. A model T can be cut up. tubed out and sold for hundreds of thousands more than an original? The knife above before I soaked it in mineral oil was...
Restore is what I do!! I don't care how old. It's like cars, hot rods model T's Now if you tub out cars and put a thousand horse power engine in a classic...if it is done right you can triple the value. It's all about the market and how classy it is done. The oldest weapon I restored was an 1876...
I am pretty new here as well but in the few months I have been here I have met the most helpful people. You want to ask questions and learn here is the place. I never thought I would ever enjoy making a knife so much!! I use blanks for now....blades that are heat treated and ready to be shaped...
Congrats...........that would be a great honor!!! All the other guys would use it for a door stop Murph!!!! Watch out especially Ironwolf..............I am IN!!!! :biggrin:
It's funny you say this I was sort of thinking the same....All below have good points, but there are blood vessels everywhere in the body and that is why we have two arms, if one goes down the other works. Ex-paramedic LOL.....Have you drawn it out...I was thinking of a full leather wrist wrap...
Am I too late? I am in and in and in!!! Now lets address the above topic! I love you too man!!!!! And Gay means Happy!!! What ever it takes to win, but I'd rather send you a six pack! ???
Welcome, you can find it all here.....Love the name, I remember watching the Kroft Supershow >??? That tells how old I am!!!! Marsha, Will and Holly on a routine expedition.........................I'll stop!
Take Care,
