An old Rapala fillet knife that I pretty much completely re-did.
I found it literally in pieces, with a bent blade, too small of a handle, and a tang cap that was destroyed.
The blade was straightened, a new handle made, and everything sanded WAY more than anything original.
Quite pleased with the end result.
More details of the build/reconstruction can be found in the 'Knife repair, Modification, Restoration & Improvement" group discussion.
