Cat Brules Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Who has a good suggestion for a reasonably-priced knifemaker who can professionally put a new handle on my Bowie knife? I have an old 1950's- or 1960's-vintage, German-made "Original Bowie Knife" that is excellent carbon steel, but had really cheap-o faux stag plastic grip panels. They shattered and fell apart, so now I have this knife that I like quite a lot that now has no handle. I want to find someone who has experience and the ability to work in metal (brass, German silver or steel) and organic materials (wood, horn, bone, or antler) and who I can email for photos of their work. Does anyone know of someone so skilled? Thank you, Cat Brules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
