Chuck Stewart custom automatic needs repair

[prober996]

I have a custom made Chuck Stewart automatic knife that needs repair. Unfortunately, Chuck Stewart passed away a number of years ago. The blade does not close into the handle of the knife. I have never seen the knife work, as I inherited this knife from my father, so my understanding of it is vague. However, I can say that the opening mechanism is quite funky, and involves moving the bottom bolster in some fashion. Can anyone recommend a knifemaker who is willing to make an attempt at this repair? Photos below:

Tank Fisher might be the guy to try.

Thanks Bill. I certainly will.

If Tank doesn't work out, you may consider contacting Chris Crawford. I don't know if he does repairs on others' knives but he does make similar scale release models and posted a YT video diagnosing someone else's knife.

Tinkerer, thanks for the lead. I sent the knife off to Tank today. Hopefully he can repair it. If not, I will give Chris Crawford a holler to see if he's interested.

Bill, I am happy to report that Tank ("Mike") Fisher was able to fix the Chuck Stewart knife. Thanks again for the referral.
