Michael, I have some of those tools you're looking for, including 2 stiddys, one is homemade from a short piece of railroad track and one is machined to a drawing given to the machinist. I have punches, peening hammers, etc. I acquired these to begin knife repair like you a few years back, but took on a second job as a pastor, so don't have time to pursue the hobby. Would be glad to send pics of the tools I have for sale. Would love to see them go to someone who could put them to good use. 937 205 2603

Michael,

That is quite a nice project!  I love it when a knife gets a new life!

Comment by Jan Carter on March 4, 2015 at 20:35

Mike,

I think in 40 years I have seen 1 maybe 2 done in a briar.  I have to agree it is magnificent wood and should work well. I am still looking through the contacts to see if a stiddy can be located.  Gotta tell ya guys if someone can make these things, it would probably pay off

Hi, heres a project Im working on, its a well worn Imperial that has had a bad set of grips put on it many years ago, the blade has been sharpened many times but seems to have been well used and loved, now I plan to put new scales on it and a new guard. Brass for the guard and black walnut for the scales. here is the before pic.
