Don't be scared of 'em Pat! If I can do it... so can you.

Thomas, the old Kissing Kranes were made in Germany and are good knives. The newer ones come from China and are not so good :(

Bowtarist, I'm no craftsman. The way I was raised, you learned to either repair or make what you needed.  If something hit the
garbage can, you can bet it was truly JUNK!

Bevan, he hasn't seen it yet. He can't have it back though!  My little boy already claimed it ;D

Watch out Lee!  I think this stuff could be habit forming!  I wish I had a few more broken knives to work on.

I will Jon ;)

I'll give you every beard I have...If you'll come and get 'em Joe.   Mason and I were talking about you a couple days ago. I think I'll bring him to the Classic with me this spring. It's getting about time he see's what it's all about.

Thanks for the comments guys. If any of you want to try something like this I found a forum that has tons of good info on pocket knives. I'm not sure about posting it though. :-\

Well thanks for the offer Sadiejane!  I'd gladly trade labor, for a few parts knives. Now I know how somebody feels when the want to make a bow and don't have a stave.

Shannon, post the link. If it isn't supposed to be here I'll doctor it so we can still find it.

This gives me some hope.  I have an old pocketknife that holds an edge like a diamond but the body of the blade is so thick it is uncomfortable to carry in the pocket.  Maybe I can rebuild it!
