March 9, 20215 yr #1 Had this one in recently for a repair job. Had to repair the broken tang, make a new pommel etc. SOP on many of these earlier models.
March 10, 20215 yr #3 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

March 11, 20215 yr #5 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.
November 1, 20223 yr #6 Steve, You did this work yourself? Reason I ask is that I have a PAL USMC that needs a new pommel. Seth

November 2, 20223 yr #9 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.

( 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.
