I typically look for knives in really good condition but over the years I've wound up with a few basket cases that get tossed into a drawer and forgotten about. That was the case with this nice little 2203 that was sold cheap probably intended to be someone else's parts knife. I started thinking about it lately and now I want to see about getting it restored. Thing is, I've never done this before and I'm in need of a referral. Who do you all have confidence in for a job like this:
The bone scales and shield are perfect. The washington bolsters are a little scratched and dull. The blades are mostly there but with some pitting. The big issue is the broken spring. Whoever takes on this project would need to make a new spring for the main spear blade.
Thanks,
Jason

That's quite a scarce old schrade to come by, I hope you have good luck getting a new spring.
