Re: Taiwanese rehab
You can buy cow shin bones at any pet supply.
I suggest buying bone handles that are already processed from www.knifehandles.com

Re: Taiwanese rehab
Bill, I know that. I wasn't going for an actual shell puller, just a guard that presented a similar look. I have two shell puller knives but not because I ever expect to use them to extract shells from my break action. I like the way they look, that's all. That's a beautiful knife there, by the way. Who'd have ever thought the hardened secretions of such unlovely sea creatures would create something so very pretty?
Re: Taiwanese rehab
Bill, this is closer to what I was going for with my bolster. So it's a one piece handle with no liner or scales or bolsters but the look of the pivot end of the handle presents a certain visual. A general look that's appealing to my eye. The shell puller bolster fits that general type, but it's not the only example of it. Here's a knife that was given to me by a friend some thirty - odd years ago. I had it to where I could flick it open one handed. That probably contributed to the state it's in now where the lock back doesn't engage and the blade over travels past straight. No idea how to remedy that, but I have an attachment to it.

Re: Taiwanese rehab
I see.
On your lockblade, you can take the blade and backspring out, and peen the displaced metal back where it needs to go.

Re: Taiwanese rehab
Thanks, Bill. I believe I'll try that. I hate to consign it to junk.
Re: Taiwanese rehab
Bill, is that also doable with the lockup points on the blades for this project at hand, to eliminate or mitigate the fore and aft play? Rather than adding material by means of Tig welding?

Re: Taiwanese rehab
Possibly, if the metal is displaced.

Re: Taiwanese rehab
It looks like they just cut the sear cuts over size. No displaced metal to peen over.
Re: Taiwanese rehab
Got my top front bolster pretty well matched to the top rear one.

Re: Taiwanese rehab
Rear scale temporarily pinned on until I can find better fitting pins. Used 12 ga solid copper wire and it's just a bit loose. Everything is a little rough but I'll clean things up when I figure out if it's going to work.
