I have my fathers WWII Ka-Bar USMC fighting knife from 1941 that I would like to have restored to it's previous mirror finish as my father hand crafted it to. It was lost outside for some time.

There has been some major and minor pitting to the blade but it still appears to be good stock. I have tried to restore it's original luster, I do not have the gifts of my father to do so.

I also need the handle re-wrapped in leather as it is gone and dry rotted away. I'm not sure if anyone here perform's this kind of work, this is why I am making this request and the cost of this work.

I Thank you for your time is answering this request.

I hold this as a very sentimental item to me, as it as all that I have left of my father and our legacy to the United States Marine Corps.

Sincerely,
