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

Had to try one out, so I sacrificed a jigged black synthetic handled razor and added some mammoth bark ivory that had some great character. First razor I've ever done, very easy pattern to work with.…Continue

I recently completed this rehandle project for a client. A Buck 547 skinner, the client is a huge fan of sambar stag, but it is getting hard to find stag the size of which we needed for this project. I should also add that he likes for his knives…Continue

You may ask Jan. She works at Queen and may know how to get a replacement blade. Also, she pointed to their warranty info last week about a broken back spring. You check into that as well. Vance
Ok here go's with my first post. Doe's anyone know where I can get a blade for a #19 queen pocket knife?
Thanks Vance, I buy from Texas knife makers supply but I haven't heard of those others. I'll check them out.
Jack. You're right about the handle materials. Thanks!
Hello Mike! As far as handle materials, I have had good luck with Culpepper and Company at http://www.knifehandles.com/ for bone and horn handles; and at http://stores.ebay.com/WOODEN-ARTISTIC-TREASURES ie bigmikeyc1 where some very nice stabalized wooden handles are offerd. Best regards
There are a lot of knife links on my blog that may help. I have been accumulating as many as I can.
If you can think of any to add, let me know. Thanks.
Vance
Wow. I just looked at the anvils. Sure can cost a lot of $ to get something to bang on with a hammer. :)
Here's an anvil and other things. I like this site a lot. Jantz is good to in my experience. I like the handle material on this site more I think.
I can't paste the address. Go to usaknifemakers.comm and search for "anvil".
Jack
Oh, I must be half blind! I just noticed Pat Kennedy's reply about Jantz Supply having the anvil I'm referring to. Old age must be catching up with me. See, I knew someone could help me. Thanks Pat. I'll Check it out.
Thanks Vance, and you're right about the helpful folks on this site. I still haven't gotten any replies to my question about tool and supply resources. I'd like to get into re-handling old folders that need it. But I will have to know where to obtain pin material, and a nice little anvil. Ive seen these anvils on u-tube videos, and in one knife repair book, so I know they are out there. I'm confident that someone on this site will be able to help.
