Rehandled Valley Forge

Post by dcgm4 »

Here's a rehandled Valley Forge lockback. The jigging is all sorts of wrong. It should be a crime to put those handles on a knife like that. :x

Not sure where the handles came from but they sure are ugly. Not even close to correct and not the first time this seller has listed a knife that wasn't right.

I don't know Valley Forge from Adam's off Aunt, but if the frame and blade are original, it would be worth it to buy the knife and rehandle it again.

It's a no reserve auction, starting at 99 cents.

Or, it's a breast cancer research item and should be given to one's female significant other or raffled off to raise money for cancer research. ::nod::

That's what I was thinking Charlie.I saw a picture of those handles before. It was by the definition of egregious.

Here's a picture of mine that's been roughly cleaned or sharpened.
