I don't do much restoration work because it takes as much time to restore a knife as it does to build one if not more. But once in a while I take one on and always love doing them.
We all have knives that the greats before us used. Not all are very fancy but old time production knives that have earned a hard living being used by old cowboys, hunters and outdoorsmen hold a special place in our hearts.
I had a good buddy reach out to me to restore "an old cowboy's knife".. Some of those old timers like to keep the battle scars these knives have earned over the years while some would like to see them in their former glory, if not glorified a little more than they used to be. Whatever the case I sure had a good time putting a spit shine on something that has been around a day or two and which is ready to go right back to work with it's 2nd wind.
A few before and after pics.
Every knife's worst nightmare! the BENCHGRINDER!!
He wanted the new sheath as small as possible but very secure.
I hope he likes it because there is no putting it back!
Thanks for looking,
Todd
