Ive been hunting for a good one myself.

IM a hobbyist who makes 1-4 blades a MONTH with a fairly nice shop 2000$ for grinder with motor vfd and various attachments 2500$ for mill with dro and power feed and all the endmills needed 600 for metal lathe 300 for buffer and wheels 1600 for heat treat oven and various accessories 600 drill...

LOL nothing like the helicopter of death to scare the hell out of you

VERY WELL SAID! I don't have near the experience of a lot of the makers you named but people put their faith in me and get excited when I do make them a knife and because of people like that it keeps me going.

Ive always wondered how the full time knife makers got by. It takes alot more time then most would think to make a high end knife. Most makers who don't have a big following actually mass produce cheaper 100-200$ knives with machine finishes and cord wrap handles or simple g10 handles and a...

Im probably gonna order some! Between sharpening knives and making or rehandling knives those would be super handy. Hmm 12"x 2 1/2" and I could always cut them shorter and staple end and under the choil area. Thanks for that link!!!

Hmm wonder if some cheap flexible tubing would work. The stuff like at home depot in the sink area. Im pretty sure you could pick up some 1/2' or somethign fairly cheap.

Honestly all of the methods are probably a LOT stronger then you would imagine. Got any pics of the knife you are wishing to rehandle? ANd any ideas of what you are rehandling with?

I agree!

Either you can't find good workers or large companies would rather pay less and get so/so workers.
