custom work?

[rtruhn]

I'm also new to the knife game and to MD Shooters in general.

I have my father's old hunting knife - the blade is Solingen steel but rusted fairly badly (though I've recovered it a bit) and with that awful 1960s-era plastc faux-bone handle. I'd like to bring it back to its original luster but with a better, more-ergonomic handle and a left-handed sheath.

Do you have any recommendations for a local (Baltimore or DC-area) "knife smith?"

Thanks in advance!

They are just west of Pittsburgh, but Blind Horse Knives does wonderful work and may be worth contacting. THey do quite a bit of custom work along with their monthly specials and production knives. LT is a great person (he's the owner) and will be at the Chantilly gun show next weekend. May be worth the trip to see what he thinks.

I have quite a few of their knives, I buy more specials than I pass on and I have had several custom knives made --

They have a wide variety of scales available and some of my favorites have stag handles. They also have their own leather shop since you asked about sheaths too.



Good luck

Thank you, Shamr0ck.
