I have a SA Jereboam 1 that badly needs a refurb. The question is, value wise should I do it ? At the moment it's for display only and I'll probably keep it that way by buying a Mountaineer to use. What would you do ?

Thanks, Mike.
 
How did it hold up and perform for you with all that use?

I've never had one refurbished that was that bad, but I'd be curious how it turned out.

I can't imagine it would HURT the value. I don't think it ever does hurt the value to have the MAKER refurbish any knife. If you had someone ELSE work on it, that's another story.

I say send it in. It looks like it's ready as any Reeve I've seen.

Congrats on using it that much and not making it a safe queen. I bet the Reeve company gets a sense of pride to see knives come back for refurbish that have been used hard.

Your other option - better for us - would be for you to continue using it that hard for about 3 times as long and report back with photos.:thumbup:

:D I haven't used it at all, bought it like that. That's why I want a Mountaineer to use as this one is a little rarer ;) The only thing I don't like is that one of the previous owners has tried to sharpen the tip and ended up re-grinding it :mad: Not sure what CRK could do about that ..

i would send it back for refurb and have the tip re profiled a little shorter and get rid of the other owners mistake.
 
I would send it in.I would bet you could not tell it from new when you get it back.
 
Thanks for the replies guys :thumbup: I'll get it off next week and let you know how it goes :D
Mike.
 
Sorry for not replying sooner. My laptop blew up and I've been really busy with work :D It will be sent first thing Monday and I'll report back with pics when it returns :)
Mike.
 
Glade to say it has now arrived at CRK :) I now have a dilemma though ... do I have it returned to to me, or offer it for trade here :confused: I would quite like some sort of large sebbie to go with the small regular I've got. Would any of you guys be interested ?
Also, Anne has asked if I want the blade reground to look as it originally would of, but she pointed out some collectors might not want that .. your thoughts .. ? :)
Cheers, Mike.
 
I would let CRK regrind the blade.

And you can not make trade or for sale offers in the CRK forum.
 
Cheers TKC :) I was more looking to gauge any possible future interest here, not to actually make a trade .. but I take your point and will abide by the rules totally ;)
