Afternoon,
I picked up an old hawkbill pruner today from an antique store and it has some really bad blade play, won't snap anymore when closing and the blade is off centered. I tried to fix the blade wobble by lightly tapping the pivot pin, but all it did was make it close lazily (it snapped when I bought it) and made it hit the liner when it closes now :grumpy:
That's what I get for trying to do it myself...That's pretty much all I would like done: fix the wobble, fix the snap and center the blade
I would like to ask if it were possible if anyone was willing to do a quick fix up on her and could let me know how much it would cost, how long it would take and if you could wait a week for me to send the knife to you. I head back for Camp Lejeune, NC in 3 days, so if you would be willing to wait for me to get there and confirm my new address, it would be appreciated. (I will also only be there for about 2 months, and then I leave again)
Please take care, I appreciate your time!
