Im doing a knife restore for a fella out west. Im breaking my own rule for taking on more work during the bow season. This knife is not in terrible shape. I have restored far worse.
The blade is not too pitted.
The pommel on the other hand is another story. Its petty beat up.
And we agree he needs a new sheath.
Step one is getting this bad boy apart for a good cleaning and rust removal.
Fast forward (after applying a little elbow grease)and the pommel looks a lot better.
So does the handle
And the rest of the knife.
With the knife complete, I need only find the time to begin the sheath. The owner has sent me a graphic of a symbol he wants embossed into the leather. More to follow.
