    Knife restoration

    I found a knife hidden away in a box of tools I inherited recently from a clean out my grandfather had. Upon further inspection (it was quite rusty, forgot to get proper before photos, oops) it looked handmade, so I sent the old man a message asking about it. After some digging, turns out it was made by my great grandfather when he wanted a knife to use on the farm but didn’t want to pay for one (a trait I got), so in his memory, I’m going to fully restore it, antler, brass and rimu handle, and a leather sheath I’ll get my grandad to teach me how to make. Looking forward to the project and will post updated pictures on this thread as they happen.
