It's what I do.
New front bolsters will have to be made. Do you have a picture of how the knife is supposed to look?

I have no idea what they looked like. Could you put something on that would look appropriate?

It appears to have been a shell puller, but further research is needed.

As it turns out I have the same knife, bought it two years ago forgot I had it ::doh::

Here's what your bolster originally looked like, it is not a shell puller.

Thank you. Is the top guard bent, or made that way?

Bill, it was made that way. Top part is wider and shaped differently than the bottom part, unusual.

PM sent.
