Western blade delete
Posted: Fri Jul 05, 2024 12:24 am
I bought this Western folding hunter off eBay back in the spring. One blade was broken and the handle was cracked. Someone had rubbed the knife down with brown dye, and at first I thought the handles were plastic.
I was able to glue all the pieces back in the handle. You can see it, of course, but it is all complete and not too obvious.
Unfortunately the remaining blade has a lot of pitting, and no tang stamp (the broken blade was the only one with a stamp!)
I am glad to see this knife useable again, and it was a fun project.

My favorite brand of two blade hunter! That’s a good save, I bet that thin skinning blade will flat out cut!
