I like this handle a little more.
     I also like the more tatoo like engraving on this blade? Last edited by Tim Simmons; 1st September 2008 at 09:09 PM. |

Tim, can you talk a bit about your methods with this restoration. I need to do something very similar (wire and resin). I am most curious about how you both start and terminate the wire so no ends show and what you used to repair/replace the black resin. Also what gauge and type of silver wire did you use? Nice job.
