M3 trench knife handle repair

Post by Ribbit »

I was lucky enough to come across a M3 recently. About 1/2 of the leather handle is missing.
I found a decent tutorial on replacing the leather and want to do it myself.
Any suggestions on where to obtain the leather "washers"?

This guy might be able to help. Maybe mostly directed to bifurcated WESTERN knives but he might be able to do it.

It would be nice to access that tutorial.
