Nice! You could spend all your free time reworking old knives. If you weren't in the great white north I'd pay you to re-handle a few of mine for sure.
EDIT - WHAT FREE TIME?

I don't know why that should stop you from sending them. I have reground, sheathed, and/or rehandled knives for many of my American neighbors.

Customs, insurance, and preventing unjust duties and taxes? I'm sure sure what I'd need to do to get them there and back.
I have a Les George Magnate that has a rubbery grip that I'd love to have re-done. And maybe a couple others. Might even have something to be reground.

USPS will ship here for $30 or so, plus whatever amount of insurance you buy. Customs should not ding it for fees, but it does happen from time to time anyway, and I have no recourse, so it is a risk.
If you decide to take the risk of sending your stuff up here, send me a PM with your proposed work and we can sort out the details.

I am strongly considering beginning to offer serrations on future knives. I'm going to practice it a few more times first, and try different styles as well. But I liked how the first test performed.

Remember these cost me 2 bucks a piece three years ago so I can afford to change my mind on the fly and waste as much steel as I want.
Tthis Wiltshire one feels significantly harder than the rest so I think I'll make myself an edc sheepsfoot

I think Aebl and serrations would be an excellent combination
