Outgassing Remington
I finally got the Remington rehandle done that I pictured in another thread. This one was outgassing, and the blades had gotten rusty again after initially having it all cleaned up and oiled good. Replaced the Pyremite with ebony. It is in my pocket right now.

Re: Outgassing Remington
Beautiful JOB!! And a great save!
I'm glad you fixed it before the damage got too bad.
That cellulite is some bad stuff. If I get in a knife that has cell, I immediately take that mess OFF before it can do any more damage.
2 thumbs up!!

That ol Remington knife looks MUCH nicer now OC. Ebony scales was a good selection on another fantastic save.

Re: Outgassing Remington
Beautiful work! That ebony looks better than new! I think one of the worst aspects of celluloid is that it can go at any time without warning and destroy other knives around it in the same collection.

Re: Outgassing Remington
OC, I always enjoy your renovations. Not recognized as the same knife. You have happy pockets.
