Can you guys recommend a good "how to manual" for knife building and restoration of knives?

I am most interested in 1) the replacing of knive handles with fossilized materials like coral and mammoth tooth and 2) re-habing old knives with pitting, dirt, rust, etc.

Thanks!!!

Steve,

You might want to check out "Knife Repair & Restoration" by Adrian A. Harris.

Orvet did have some copies for sale in his store recently, however I do not know if he still has any in stock now.

Thanks Phil!

Sent you a PM but it appears to be stuck in my outbox.

I hang out and wait on Orvet to see if he has the book.
