doyler Posted March 9, 2021 Share #2 Posted March 9, 2021 That turned out great Steve. Another fine rescue of an old war horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misfit 45 Posted March 10, 2021 Share #3 Posted March 10, 2021 That looks great, Steve. A few years back to gave this forum a tutorial on how to do this type of leather handle. It was nice to learn how to do it. (I could't find the link, or I would have posted it.) Thanks so much. Marv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy69 Posted March 11, 2021 Share #5 Posted March 11, 2021 I like seeing some of these heavily used blades come to life. I’m kind of a don’t touch it guy, but these examples just needed a helping hand and there was wonderful work done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparidon Posted November 1, 2022 Share #6 Posted November 1, 2022 Steve, You did this work yourself? Reason I ask is that I have a PAL USMC that needs a new pommel. Seth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcollector Posted November 2, 2022 Share #9 Posted November 2, 2022 Steve's work is top notch, we're on knife number 7-8 now. He has done beautiful repair work on some damaged knives (bent guards, etc.,) of mine, too. He is an artisan! Jesse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, could be anywhere from a week to a month. ( I have one of Jesse’s here that’s been on the bench for a few weeks) My Mrs has been sick for a couple yrs and right now we’re traveling multiple days a week out of town for testing etc. I travel during the day and work half the night and all weekend. Add in this is the busy season on my flight jacket work and it’s really hectic around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
