Hj Knife Blade Restoration!!

[Mac 66]

Hi i bought this hj knife rzm peice M7/34 from down mikes way it was cheap & has a good enough daimond, griplates & scabbard...The blade was messed up pretty bad so i restored it back the best i could to make it more desireable if i did,nt do this it would have probably ended up in mikes oliver twist collection of hj knifes ...anyway here are some before and after pix feel free to post your opinions ....cheers scott.

A LITTLE WHILE LATER FINISHED ........ THE BLADE HAS GOT A HAIRLINE CRACK THAT WILL ALWAYS BE THERE BECAUSE IT WOULD TAKE TOO MUCH OFF THE BLADE TO TAKE IT OUT COMPLETELY .

Looks very good result! But how did you do it, if not a secret? Did you weld/add metal, or removed some metal?

did you put the tip back on Scott? big difference between the two!

Hi yes all my own work i had to remove some metal to reshape the blade i used another hj blade as a stencil to get the right shape well almost ......cheers scott.
