I found this old fillet knife literally in pieces.The blade was bent. The tang was warped. The handle was too small (in my opinion). And the mechanical connection of the tang behind the handle was destroyed. The edge being useless was an obvious…Continue

Thanks Jan, LOL yep I had to watch the video several times stopping pausing rewinding etc it's not exactly professional quality - Actually videos it's in several parts. ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQEQkz4TjVU
Anyway with the videos & some trial & error I got there. Thanks for the kind comment.
Derek,
WOW, that went well! Having never done it before, you were helped by a youtube video. I have seen the one your taking about and I am impressed that it got you to and through the project! GREAT WORK
Yes Micheal Started out with some bronze but managed to make a mess of it ... The copper I had in 'the shed' so decided to run with that. I like the look of some of the Ka Bar knives that CSC made for them and pretty happy with how this turned out. I had never Silver Soldered before so taught myself by watching a shaky/indistinct video on youtube by Tony Bose.
@ Dale, Charles & Michael - appreciate the encouraging comments ... Thanks
nice work, is that a copper bolster? Nice
Good job Derek!
Nice, Derek .. very nice indeed.
