Good Evening!I just acquired a USN MK2 knife a couple of days ago.  The grip's leather discs were horribly dehydrated, and the guard was a bit bent; but for the most part, it was in pretty good shape.  It really needed some cleaning and just a touch…Continue

An old Rapala (Marttiini) fillet knife

Started by Kevin D Sep 21. 0 Replies

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

He should be proud also. It's hard to believe that was first. Fantastic!

Thanks Bob I am pretty proud of him.  This is the first one he has taken apart and put back together.

Jan, A beauty of a knife! Great choice of handle materials!!!

The rebuild on the Barndoor is complete.  Blond Buffalo seemed the right choice

Jack,

That ironwood is beautiful!  Great Job!

Donnie's newest project.  He will make a pattern of this before putting it back together.  This is actually the only celluloid we ever had gas off, may as well put some new handles on it since we caught it early

Oops, I forgot to type words. :)

Spyderco Dragonfly 2 handle with ironwood scales and birch backspacer. I think I'll carry this for a while. It works really well.  Perfectly in fact. Even if a knife looks nice I hate carrying it if it has a performance problem.  This one opens/closes great.  Lockup is solid and when it closes it has a lot of pop to it and more than enough springiness holding it closed.
