Is There An Easy Fix For A Missing Shield?

[JC024]

For a case shield I would probably make one out of brass sheet. If you're feeling crafty you could modify the pocket and put in whatever shape you want to make...but that's a bit more involved.

r8shell that is a great use for old piano key veneers! I’ve had a stack of old ivory key tops I bought on a whim and never could figure out exactly what to use them for since they’re so thin. Maybe wood marquetry or jewelry? But now I’m kinda hoping a shield pops out of my Case.

I've bought a few old knives at a good discount because of the missing shields.

For the thin ivory veneers, you can laminate them to make thicker stock for re-covering celluloid knives. You can see the seams at the edges, but I don't mind too much.

Anyway, whatever you decide to do, please post pictures.

Don't have anything but my cell at the moment, but here's the knife.
