Here's the story: My grandfather passed away about 10 years ago and from his estate I received his hunting knife. It was purchased for him by a friend in Alaska, for whom he was dog sitting for (I even have letters they wrote in poem form that reference knife and dog, very cool). Its a M. W. Seguine handled with a piece of Caribou the friend had taken while hunting. I'm looking for a good fellow to possibly tighten the loose brass, clean it and remove the oxidized/green thats spread from the brass into the handle. I dont know how the handle is attached.
My grandmother passed about a month ago and all I requested from her estate was her vintage/well used Forgecraft kitchen knife she used almost every day. This one needs the handles replaced (they spent too much time in the sink, I think a set of rosewood colored grip panels would be nice) and a thorough cleaning. Also, the blade has a chip near the tip that could likely be re ground.
So, does anyone know of a good person for the job? This his and hers set is all I have left of them, obviously very sentimental. I am looking to have this done for a reasonable price, though I admittedly dont know much about knives or how much minor restorations generally cost. I just dont want to have to sell a kidney to have these fixed .
