any wa rehandling in Australia?

Hi,

I recently purchased a WA handled Kato workhorse.

It came with an Chestnut handle. I want this replace with something nicer.

are there any place that does rehandling in Australia?

and I am expecting another knife from the US. This will be shipped to my friend in FL who will then bring it home to me.

Are their any WA rehandlers in the US that any one could recommend to me?

Thanks

Try Knives and Stones. I just got a Gyuto with a nice handle from him.

You could try James at Oatley knives, he's in Sydney.
Chadd Smith, Tristone, is on the central coast, no idea if he re-handles.
There's also Mert Tansu in the Hunter, once again, you'd have to contact him to see if he'd do a re-handle.
Zac Cheong, down in Melbourne, re-handled a couple of mine a year ago.
Australian blade forums is probably a good place to ask, I've also found quite a few aussie bladesmiths via Instagram.

I've got email addresses for these guys, PM me if you need them.

Ahahahahaha really thanks this topic. I am also looking for re-handle.

Thanks Smurfmacaw and Kevpenbanc..

I'm going to check these places now. I'll ask Mert first since I have a knife on order with him

Bruce, Ynot,
Let me know if you do get some rehandles done, I'm probably going to get some done in the next year or so.

No problem. But I have to plan my holiday first. Lol
