All About Pocket Knives

I got a chance to work on knives again today for the first time in months. I had fun restoring this old Humason and Beckley. It had a broken secondary blade, and the main had been poorly sharpened on a grinder. The handles look like wood, but they had bug-bites in them. I patched the holes and when I sanded them, the handles are definitely horn. There is nothing else like that smell! I removed the secondary, reprofiled and cleaned up the Main, and polished things a little.
I can't wait to give this knife some pocket time!

Great job

Nice save on that old knife Reverand!

Very nice you do good work Reverand

Wonderful job! I have just cleaned up, polished, and sharpened an old Case 2383
probably from 1920. It was a great feeling working on the old knife. It brings
me the most joy in knife collecting.

Purchasing and showing a nice new knife you bought is good but showing a knife
you brought back to a better life is even more satisfying.

Great save Reverand! The work you did on those horn scales and that blade is nothing short of terrific. That HOK will make a fine EDC for you!

Nice save on that one. I bet it's even more pocketable with that secondary removed.

Beautiful save Rev! Being a big fan of 1 blade knives it doesn't bother me one little bit that you had to remove the smaller blade! Also, you did a fine job of reshaping the main! EDC here we come!

Nice restoration on that old knife. Looks good!

Nice job Reverand!

Very well done save on that old warrior!

Yep.... definitely worth a second chance!
