Knife Maker Perth
Submitted by Jackfrost80 on Fri, 2021-07-02 11:22
I have a boning knife gifted to me from my 89y old Pop and the story goes that Pop found this in a bonfire up at Yardi and being of strong Scottish decent he kept it and fashioned a new handle out of ali tube and recently gave it to me along with a few other items.
I'd love to get it set into a new handle and polished up for sentimental reasons and show him the finished product.
Does anyone know of a good local knife maker that could help out?
Cheers JF

They certainly don't make
They certainly don't make knives like they used to .How man yy years ago did your pop find it . You could try fashioning something out of a nice piece of redwood.
