I need to get back to it, but I'm repairing a couple of knives.

One was my dad's first knife. Beat all to hell, and needed the handle repaired or replaced. Decided to repair it, but finding the right size cutler's rivets or the equivalent has been a pain. Recently found some that should work, but there's been too many physical obstacles to me getting the work done.

The other is a similar knife that I'm making a fancy handle for out of some stabilized cedar I had used on a folding knife a few years ago. Didn't want the material going to waste, so I bought an old knife with a missing handle to use it on. Same deal though, every time I go to work on it, something delays me and then either the arthritis flares up, or I injure my back again lol.

Some things you make are not to be shared. These include:

Do not be a jerk.
