So I have purchased two forgecraft knives off of ebay for $15 each for the purposes of practicing sharpening.
I would like to eventually re do the handles with Japanese style handles. I've done a little googling and found the end products of when people re-handle forgecraft knives and apparently its quite a challenging process.
However I need some baby-steps on how to go about doing this. Can you point me in the right direction?
How does one go about taking the handle off? Putting the new one on? Where can I buy a cheap handle. This is baby steps for me. I promise to post my progress if I do this!
I just need some baby steps to decide if I'm even up to the task. It looks like fun though...
