A fella would be hard pressed to beat a three generation knife project!This is a Christmas present from my 9 year old son. He's very thoughtful and knew I've been going crazy over old slip joint repair. He went to my dad for help and searched antique malls and flea markets, but never found anything he liked. Dad had this one stashed away as a project never to be finished.Needless to say, I was over come with sentiment and joy. My son knew that only I would be happy with a bag full of old knife parts. I also enlisted his help picking scales, filing pins, and some hand sanding. Here's how it turned out.
So your sayin your Son asked his grandfather ( your father) to help him get you a present and your father gave your son a knife to give to you then helped you rebuild it...yeppers that the knife of a life time!!congrats on the knife and raising a great son! Well done Sir.
