Bone chip repair

[orvet]

Last weekend I picked up a Case Muskrat at the flea market that had a chip in the mark side handle.

As you can see there is a nasty crack and missing chip of bone missing from the handle.
I stabilized the crack and loose bone chip with Zap-A-Gap thin. I used several light applications to the crack to get under the bone and glue it from behind and make the loose piece solid.
Then I switched to Zap-A-Gap regular and built up the area around the chip. I was pleased with the results.

As you can see I am not completely finished yet. I think I will build it up a little more.
I just thought you guys might like to see the results.
I have been EDCing this knife daily and there has been no problem with the repair.

I thought it was cool the way the glue picked up the color of the bone.

I like what you did to that one, Dale. You really cannot see where the crack was, if you didn't show the before picture.

Nice work!

Very nice! I've used that zap a gap thin on a couple of knives since you mentioned it before. It really does work well. That ol rat is real nice!

Looks good , I just did a similar repair using the same method on horn . It picked up the color and came out well .
