There, I fixed it.

Post by American Blade 92 »

A couple of walnut handles knives I put together. I made a couple of adjustments on them tonight.

I'd say the 2lb. hammer did the trick! 🤭
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

And now they're ready for the bay!
Stay away from listing as "mint", though.
"Near mint" would be more accurate.
You might be able to get away with "never carried, never sharpened".
Take care and God bless,

They are definitely "bay" ready. They are near mint. Lots of life left in these bad boys, just need a little cleaning. If anyone is interested, I'd take $250 a piece for them.

I dunno...there's just something not right with the patina....doesn't look natural to me.....
Other than that, these should sell fine! Nice work on them....really.... ::paranoid::

I recommend a larger hammer and firmer strikes when setting the pins. You don't want those handles coming off.
