1972 Case repair

This piece belonged to a friends Grandpa.  The main back spring was completely rounded off and there was no action left to it.  Both blades had been loved on quite a bit.

I had the main blade tang tig welded and reshaped, lightly cleaned both blades up and returned to 1 happy grandson.  Heres a before and after of the knife along with a before picture of the worn tang.

Nice work Andy

I have found in (my very limited experience), that trying to work with blades that have been loved on, can be one of the biggest challenges.  Kudos!

Thanks Kevin.  It's very rewarding bringing something like that back to life.  And my friend couldn't believe it when I gave it back to him.  I'm working with a Tested era piece with a similar issue right now.
