I didn’t have to pull the knife apart to rehandle it. She cleaned up pretty well and the snap on all 4 blades is exceptionaI. I rehandled in canvas micarta and inset a red coral disk, surrounded by a sterling silver bezel. I had two sizes of coral, 1/4” and 1/2”. The 1/4 was too small and the half inch was a bit too big. If I had it to do over again...I’d probably flatten out two sides of the coral and make something that was closer to the shape of the knife. Traditionalists and Papa Jack are probably shaking their heads at “fancying up” the old work knife.
Although, not as refined as the Master Cutlers, here of AAPK...this has risen from the back of a drawer...to a special place in my collection. It will probably only see light blade use; however, will probably become my “crown-lifter of choice” if hanging out with friends. The Case knife will see it’s day, when I get a bit of experience with bone.
