Press Button Knife restoration

Post by wiseguy »

This is a pretty rare model knife that was in need of some love, i did a conservative approach with a period bone donor for the graft , new kicker, minor adjustments and a mild edge cleanup...... ya`ll will need to fill in the blanks like pinning it back together & such but here's the jist of it if you would like to take a look,,,,,, my first attempt at a video, the restoration went well, the video..... o.k., the volume changes up a bit throughout so...... enjoy ! https://www.dropbox.com/s/8e921p0a3w5xi ...

The repair is quite nice, so much so that I don't know where to look for it.

It was a tedious but fun restoration. The hardest part was trying to take hours of video down to under 7 minutes. Thanks for taking a look and comments Gentlemen ::tu:: The knife is for a friend of mine that needed it to complete his collection.

Wiseguy, thanks for showing, that was fabulous work, can't even tell where the split was, and who would have thought instant coffee would help. Great skills you have and great save of a sweet old knife.
