Title: My Springer knife!!!
Post by: Ridgeratt on February 19, 2015, 07:12:19 PM: I had broken the handles off my Salmon Filet knife. Had a member due a remarkable job of putting a new handle on it..

Thank you!!!

Showed a person last fall why the Havalon isn't such a hot tool!! He didn't want to try with his "new age knife" what I did with mine and he agreed mine was every bit as sharp!!! :chuckle:

but I got a work sharp for Christmas so maybe I'll just start collecting them and put a convex edge on everything I own

Post by: Ridgeratt on February 19, 2015, 08:50:30 PM: I was told when it was returned the wood is a dense base and has sort of a feeling like an oil impregnated handle.
It does have a nice feel and I am looking forward to using it. Sometime!!! :chuckle:
