Hi all, Got this little bloke not long ago.
He had broken handles and the pen blade spoke in braille. ::facepalm::
Anyhow I thought I'd pretty him up a bit.
Put horn handles on him, had a bit of trouble getting them just right at the bolsters,
but will probably pull him down again and use him for a bit more practice. :mrgreen:
Starting to get the general idea on this repairing bit, just need to pick up on some finer
bits here and there, like bolster/handle transition.

Anyhow here's some pic's for criticism//coment. ::paranoid::


cheers Gary.

Nothing wrong with that knife, Gary.
I'd leave her just as she is and find another to re-do.
Sharpen the blades and move on to the next one.
Your getting better every day.

That's pretty nice Gary! Interesting pattern with the loop as part of the spring.

Really nice re-handle. I need to get up the courage to try one myself.
