My father in law gave me some of the things that belonged to his dad. On of them was a Case medium stockman pocket knife. It's kind of funny because they had just happened to give me the same model knife (but in blue bone) a few years ago as a present. Anyway, his dad's knife was in rough shape. It was well used and the scales (handles) had crumbled away in the middle making the knife practically useless.
I checked with Case and they said they could restore it. I just had to send it to them. I asked that they leave it as original as possible as it belonged to my father in law's dad. I just wanted new scales and a clean up.... I also asked that they do their pocket worn job on it so the scales would blend in with the old knife. They did a great job. Blades still have a nice patina. Gave it back to my father in law for Christmas. He was pleased with the restoration.
I wish I had taken a before photo, it was really rough.
