Good repair job. Did you have to weld or braze the tang back onto the blade?

Restoring an antique piece not only takes skill and time, but also takes passion. And I can see you put a lot in your work.

Congratulations for your amazing work!

Such artistic skills like yours are so rare these days.

Are you also accepting to do restoration works on commission? I am sure that many of us could need your help.
