Recommendation of person to re-handle?

Post by EWMailman »

I have a celluloid handle that is showing signs of deterioration and believe that those handles should probably be replaced. I do not have that ability and am looking for recommendations of someone who could do this. I would appreciate any input anyone has, whether it is yourself or another you would recommend that would have the ability (there is probably no shortage) and be willing to do this. The knife is a contemporary Winchester toothpick with abalone celluloid handles. It would be nice to keep the appearance similar, but I would be open to other suggestions. Hope to hear from you.

Start here. Kaleb has his own website as well as a store right here under the same name. If he can't help you make another post and we'll give you some more names to try. Here's 2 of my Case knives that he recently re-handled.http://muskratmanknives.com/ The Barlow is a 3-Dot and the 18 is a Straight XX. Click on the photo so you can get a good look.

I hate it when I start drooling all over my keyboard ::drool::
I should learn to have napkins at the ready at all times here at AAPK! :)

I thought about a bib, but that would just lead to too many questions, not to mention the funny looks, here at work!
