Re-handling service...

[TLARbb]

I asked this question in the traditional knives forum in the Celluloid Q&A thread, but maybe this is a better place for the question.

I have several Fight'n Rooster and Bulldog knives with cellluoid scales and one F-R in particular appears to be beginning to out-gas. I have it segregated from the other celluloids and the other celluloids segregated from everything else.

I like the celluloid scales on this knife as they are a very pretty "Christmas" style, but I would definitely entertain changing to a different scale material to salvage the knife. I have never tried to rescale a knife and don't know if I have the skill. I'm pretty sure I might need some trinkets and tools I don't have since I do not work on knives already.

So, the question is whether or not there is someone out here in the knife community that would or regularly does re-handling jobs. The knife is a large stockman pattern with slanted bolsters.

Thanks in advance for any advice/suggestions.

STR can probably help you out.

Thanks Bill. I read his "About Me" thread and it doesn't look like he still has the tools and the inclination to work on an pinned traditional like my Fight'n Rooster. I'll PM him and see what he says; can't hurt to ask.
