Knife I just restored
« on: March 17, 2014, 10:04:11 pm »
Here is a Winchester 2000 Knife that I just restored for my roommate. He found it in a campsite and it had cracks all through the handle and had rust on the blade(very minimal, and it was super dull. It is now cutting paper, has no cracks in the handle, has no rust on the blade and the handle wood is finished with beeswax.
Enjoy, Graham.

Nice rehab.   I just took apart a broken pocket knife last night to see if I can replace the handle with osage.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Thanks guys. Yes I used epoxy and two bent nose pliers with rubber bands around the handles to clamp the glue line shut because there was some resistance. It was not very complicated and because I'm in college I didn't have much choice as to my clamp so I used what I had. Glad you liked it. Hope yours goes well!
