Knife Restoration

[Quiganomics]

Found this in my father's toolbox when he passed. 12" when open. Wanted to restore it, but set it aside for a while, my dad and I never had a good relationship, he was an abusive asshole. Finally started the restoration today. Here's a before and after so far.

The scales are pretty rough...cracking, loose, so going to replace them. Friend of mine makes these, so having him do a set for me.

When done, I plan to engrave the blade to say 'BE BETTER' as a reminder to never be like him.

It's a biggun'.

Nice work!!

I had a similar situation growing up.
Got my ass beat 3 to 4 times a week.
But everybody else thought he was great.

Sounds familiar. It's why I've made it very clear to my kids to treat everyone kind, because even though things may appear to be perfect, you never know what goes on behind closed doors
