GrampsChair Report post Posted July 17, 2016 I was left my grandfathers leather recliner when he passed. The leather is worn and torn in spots. I was thinking about having it redone. I thought about using the original leather and making a keep sake of some kind for all the grand kids. I thought about covering a wooden coin that has the letter of his last name on it maybe. I am looking for some ideas on what I could make, fairly easy as i will need to make 20 or more of them, that all could carry around or keep in a safe place as a memory of him. The leather is thin, leather typical for a leather chair. Any ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Albob Report post Posted July 24, 2016 Depending on your budget, I carry my own steak knife when I go out to eat. I hate a dull knife for a great steak. Anyway, there is a knife called the bone collector on e-bay I buy as gifts for family and close friends. It's hand made in America and around 12 bucks each. That in a nice sheath would be a life long keep sake..... This is the one I use, but he has many styles. http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-5-BONE-COLLECTOR-FIXED-BLADE-SKINNING-KNIFE-Hunting-Bowie-BONE-BC-790-/291494591759?hash=item43de6e7d0f:g:ZTAAAOSw3ydVgYAu Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
