I have an old Remington bullet with broken blades I would like to be replaced. Is the any craftsman out there that could do the work of replacing the blades and making the knife usable again?

Replace the blades with what exactly ?

If both blades are broken I don't think the knife is anything more than a keepsake now.

If you want a Remington Bullet trapper to use you should wait till Buck releases them here soon.
They've partnered with Remington and will be producing the bullet trapper.

Another option is to find a donor knife with good blades (maybe the covers are trash or shield is missing) and then have a craftsman combine the good parts from the two knives to make one decent knife.

There are BF members that do that type of work.
 
If the knife holds sentimental value, I can understand why you'd want to do this. Might not be easy..but doable.
 
It might be possible to have someone make new blades to put in there too. That way you can even get them in an awesome steel.

I don’t imagine it would be cheap.

Edit: just by searching Remington Bullet Trapper Knife on google I found tons of inexpensive ones for sale. Get one of these first, then have someone swap the blades for you.

The problem is that those may be recent Bear & sons produced knives which are not the quality of the original.
Plus the blades are the knife so it's not like you'd have the same knife anymore anyways.

Is this an original bullet knife ?
If so those are highly collectible and you probably won't find a correct donor knife for cheap.
The tang stamp on the blade if still there will tell you if it's an original or a 1980's plus reissue. The reissues are fare less expensive since value goes down on things as they keep making them.
Either way I think you'd be better off buying a replacement to use and save this one as a keepsake if it has some kind of sentimental value.
 
It would be easier and much less expensive to keep on the lookout for the same knife on Ebay. If there isn't one there now one will likely show up in the near future.
