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

If one still wishes to drill through holes in the bolsters .. I suggest careful measurement in locating the hole .. cntr punch the location .. clamp the part securely in place .. flat side down .. supported by & clamped to a flat surface .. in a drill press .. slow speed .. 'n use cutting oil.
Schrade Uncle Henry knives (many of them anyway) used a unique fastening system @ the ends. i.e. the pivot pin does not go through the bolster .. as is the case with most folders. Instead .. the pivot pins have heads on either end that slide into a groove in the frame & lock in place.
If it is the type I'm thinking of .. the center pin in the backsprings should be removed first .. then the sides will slide forward / backward & allow the locking pins to disengage from the frame & the entire knife will dis assemble @ that point.
Hope that helps
Certainly Dale, thanks

That is sweet ! I am currently working on a Schrade Uncle Henry, folder, that was cast into the garbage after our neighbor had passed on. He used it in the concrete business for years, I am wanting to resotre it using African Blackwood for the handles and Elephant Ivory for the emblem, opposite the side where the original will be, I have a question for Mr. Eduardo; How do I drill out the ends without damaging them? I guess you cal then the bolsters?
