CFM chuck123wapati Posted May 14, 2022 CFM Report Posted May 14, 2022 a couple knives a fellow wanted fixed up. The black knife he has had since a kid, he is 70, his son chipped the blade so I repaired it a bit cleaned it up and made a new sheath. the other was a metal detector find he had. it had no scales and was solid rust so i made elk antler scales cleaned it up and made the sheath. I wish i had done some before pics.

Members dikman Posted May 14, 2022 Members Report Posted May 14, 2022 Look good, the elk antler in particular. I have a soft spot for antler handles/scales, I reckon they always look "right".

MikeRock Posted May 14, 2022 Report Posted May 14, 2022 Hi Chuck, Old man here... Did you ever see one of Rudy Ruana's knives? Forged from files, guard and pommel cast from melted beer can aluminum, elk scales and the cross pins made from aluminum clothesline wire. Hand sewn sheaths. I traded a girl an Indian flute for one she had, 1974. Look him up, cool old gentleman. https://www.ruanaknives.com Good grief, they are still in business! Good for them!! If you like that knife style, let me know. Getting your blanket ready to ship. Quote
