K_N_I_F_E

I had a kitchen knife with a broken tip & a loose handle.
So I fixed it, with a little bit of elbow grease, a Dremel and my Leatherman.
I ground down the broken tip and reshaped it / sharpened it.
I took a chunk of canvas stretcher bar and hammered
it to condense/compact & harden the softer wood.
A slot was cut length wise to fit the tang of the blade, then
a nail was put through the bolt hole in the tang, and peened. -(ha-ha peen!)
I smoothed & shaped the handle with a few of the Dremel attachments.
All I need to do now is stain the handle and seal it (more pictures to follow)
