TalkBlade.Info Knife Forums

On, or about, July 25 my DSL connection failed. I have been without connection until this evening. Which was bad because I needed to post about a re-handle of a knife by a forum member. Troubleshooting on the phone with a tech. Purchasing a new modem upon his suggestion. Receiving the modem and find...

Yes, I was able to purchase a knife from a forum member, and I am happy with it.

Renaissance Wax might do a good job on this. It is widely used on metals in museums, collectible guns, etc.

A forum member has offered his skills to re-handle this knife and he is now in possession of the knife and plastic. After he finishes reworking the scales, we will celebrate the work on this forum (if he is willing to give permission to show his work).

Thanks, Bill.

Would it be more convenient if I supplied the acrylic tortoise shell?

I have just received a Frank Beltrame 11" stiletto. I am unhappy with the scales on this knife and would like to have it re-scaled with acrylic tortoise shell. Would like to have excellent craftsmanship and a couple of beautiful sections of acrylic tortoise shell.
Please PM me.

The amount of storage will probably keep me happy for a while. After seeing the displays posted here, I can see that there are quite a few possibilities which are attractive.

Here is a quick pic of my display cabinet with a couple of knives.

I do not know why you would want to torment your eyes, but here is the flip side. it is much uglier in real life.
Also two of the brass pins have very sharp burrs that snag your fingers whenever you run your finger over them.

Looks like shit to me!
