I had a #934 and the sheeps foot was snapped out of it and someone snapped the spey and did a poor job of fixing it. So I took it today and ground the sheepsfoot off and filed everything down flush and polished all the scratches out. Then I filed the spey down and re did it becuase it looked VERY bad. And here is the result. It takes a shaving edge, so I figured it'd be a good user. This is the first time I have attempted re-doing a knife like this (other than just getting rid of rust, and polishing the bolsters)

You seem to have done a good job rehabing that old knife MM!

Double check the tangstamp though. Those numbers get worn and hard to read. Your eyes are young, so you have an advantage over an old codger like me, but even using a magnifying glass I sometimes have trouble deciphering them. A good magnifyer is a knife collector's friend.

Reshaping broken blades to make a knife usable again is a good hobby. Broken blade knives are cheap and plentiful at yard sales and flea market boxes, and with practice, you can use donor parts from several to rebuild one really nice one.

yeah thats my goal, is to learn how to take them apart and take peices for a couple different knives and make one good one. The numbers are clearly stamped 934 on the master blade. I'd like to learn how to replace broken handles, blades ect. Do you need any special tools? (ie: jigs, ect?) I think it'd be fun, cuz I like buildin' stuff ( I tie flies, make my displays ect.)
thanks

This link should help you for knives with pinned blade rivets, the keyhole construction is more complicated:
