Handle Repair Materials & References
Posted: Mon Mar 02, 2026 6:10 pm
Hello, blade brothers.
I have a handful of Case knives in need of replacement shields, and several bone handle knives with cracked or broken handles. Does anyone know a person/place that has replacement Case shields (I know I could technically send the knife in, but I figured that was overkill for a relatively straightforward fix)?
The bone handles will require more time to address, but I'm not even sure if there's an effective method out there for repairs. In some cases, I have the bone pieces that fell off, but in others, I only have similar material. Is there a reference anyone can suggest for whether fixing jigged and smooth bone handles is a rational undertaking, and where I might find some tips on how to go about it?
Thanks in advance!
