It can be addicting!
May I refer you to this section of the forum?

The Knife repair and restoration sub-forum. It may be better to post your work in that section, as this current area is for general knife discussion.
Keep up the good work!

No apologies necessary, it's just nice to keep similar topics together. Members like to "surf" subforums for things they are curious about or interested in. Also, the other mechanics can see your work, and maybe pick up a tip from you.American Blade 92 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2026 9:51 pmThank you glennbad!glennbad wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2026 8:19 pm It can be addicting!

This is a most informative post, I have learned that this is definitely the way to go on repairs such as this. In the past I have been using magic putty with mixed results.
