Pocket knife repairs

Post by American Blade 92 »

Anyone else around here enjoy rebuilding old pocket knives?
Heres a couple I fixed up last summer. Schrade 881s with peach seed handles.

Welcome! ::welcome::
You have come to the right place. Get settled in start browsing some of these threads, you'll see there's quite a few of us knife mechanics here!
BTW, nice looking work with the Peach seed phone on the 881! ::tu:: ::tu::

You should post this in the Knife Repair and Restoration thread where more of us knife mechanics will see it.

Nice work! Since you’re fairly new here and may not have found it yet, recommend you post your work here in the Knife Repair and Restoration forums https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/kn ... m.php?f=48 where other members whom are knife mechanics “talk shop”. ::tu::
