Not sure this is the proper forum, but I could not locate a "Knife Repair" one.
I'm a long time collector of Robeson and Terrier pocketknives. I have two identical Robeson Six blade pearl handled lobsters and each has a broken handle, but on opposite sides.
I also have two identical Terrier, circa 1910-1916, serpentine physician's knives with the same problem.
One knife of each pair is in much better, i.e. restorable condition and their mates have a near perfect handle that can be used as a replacement.
I assume this would require very careful drilling out of the handle pins and not breaking the pearl handle slabs.
Anyone here know anyone that can do that or do any of you feel confident in taking on the task?
Some may suggest Henry Okleshan, but he has totally retired. I approached him about it in Lexington last August and he declined.
