Getting my celluloid knives rehandled

[methadoneman]

I have 3 or 4 Celluloid knives I'm afraid are going to gas out on me. I'm just curious if anyone would be interested in helping me and what the cost is to see if I can come up with the money to have it done. Thanks ahead of time.

I almost forgot that I would prefer some kind of bone handle material but I am open to any suggestions.

I got this recommendation from Mumbleypeg in my thread about my outgassing Rooster.

Thanks to all who replied. I was afraid of the answer, but not surprised. Any recommendations for AAPK knife mechanics?

Go here viewforum.php?f=37. Find a member who does replacement of handle covers, and whose work you like. Send a PM or email to them (more than one person if you wish) requesting what you want done, with pictures of the knife. From there you will likely get a reply.

My recommendation is do NOT simply make a post asking who wants to work on your knife. From personal experience you’re not likely to get a response. Most good knife mechanics already have a backlog of work so they rarely need to solicit it. And expect to pay a good mechanic for a good job.

I searched the linked forum and saw some really fine rehandle jobs. I made not of the "mechanics", but decided to attempt to rectify the problem myself. If I find it to be "above my pay grade", I will reach out to one, or more of the professional knife mechanics here at AAPK. Sorry for the double post, but I wanted to be sure you saw it. Hope it is of help to you.
