Hi all,
Just joined and this is my first post. I'm posting to ask for help finding someone to refurbish an old folding knife for me.
As background, I was recently given an old folding knife by the widow of one of my best friends who passed away a couple years ago by suicide. It was a crushing blow to say the least and the knife means a great deal to me and another of my best friends - we all grew up hunting together and he used the knife on countless hunts we made together. I am hoping to have the knife cleaned up and possibly engraved with both friends' names, and then to give the knife to my other friend as a Christmas gift.
You don't need all that background, but I wanted to provide it to give context for what I'm hoping to do. I live in New Orleans and have not been able to find someone reasonably close to home that can do the work. I don't mind sending it somewhere as long as I can find someone trustworthy to send it to and do the work. It is not the nicest knife in the world, but obviously it has enormous value to me and my friend. I'd be happy to send photos once I've established contact with someone that can help.
Thanks in advance for any help this community can give me.
