    Outstanding restoration MagDad! I was so excited the moment I saw the thumbnail as I instantly recognized this knife. I owned a knife of nearly the exact same pattern and era only mine was manufactured by the Cattaraugus Cutlery Co. NY. The pummel on mine was about 3x thicker and had crude checkering on the end, otherwise nearly identical to yours. You did a fantastic job overall and really saved the handle finish from blackening caused by the wet/dry. No worries! What a great piece of history this knife is. This is one of my favorite videos of yours.

    This was a wonderful restoration. Technically interesting as always, but also providing a glimpse into one man's personal journey through a momentous period in history
    It was very interesting to discover, by the way, how simple (when you've seen it done!) leatherwork like this on a knife handle turns out to be
    Best wishes. Patrick

      Thanks Patrick! I learned a lot on this stacked leather knife handle that I hope to apply to future projects.

    Beautiful restoration! I didn't realize part of the tang was exposed on some stacked leather handles.

      Thanks Jeff! I've got a smaller knife with the same design.

    Superb work Magdad. If that was my knife I would be very proud to have it given back to me in that condition. You performed a perfectly sympathetic restoration and turned me off leather handles. They look like a tremendous amount of work.
    Great job mate.

      Thanks Shed Man! I learned a lot that will help the next stacked leather project a little easier.

    Nice neat cutting on the butt to remove the plate. A dremel is the poor mans scalpel. You come up with innovative ideas. Very good job. The knife is priceless.
