i have what i belive to be a coleman/western straight blade knife w/ a rawhide handle that needs replaced.the leather has rotted off the handle. the knife was my fathers boy scout issued knife way back when and has high sentimental value.the knife has also been around the world with my brother and i on hunting trips and we would hate for it not to go on another.can anybody provide info on repair?
 
Not sure, I think that Camillus currently holds the Western brandname/trademark, so I'd check with them first. It was made before they took ownership though, so you may have to do the repair yourself, or perhaps have a knifemaker work on it.
 
Sunrise River Customs does knife customizations and repairs. Look them up on Google.
 
Also try the Makers forum, there are lots of talented people in there and these are guys you know you can trust.
