I know there are some fabricators on here. I would like to find someone to fix a knife. My great grandpa made it out of parts from a b52 bomber cockpit. My grandpa used it as a hunting knife while he was alive until it broke. Before he died he passed it to me. The blade is steel; the finger guard is brass. I assume that the "bone" in the middle of the handle is steel.
I cannot figure out how to get pictures posted on here. The main issue is that there is not much steel where the blade meets the first her guard. The steel obviously cannot be welded to the brass, but I wonder about drilling through the brass to the rod in the middle of the handle that I think is steel then some how weld or otherwise attach the two steel sections.
Does anyone think they can fix this or point me in the way of someone who could? I have had a couple.machine shops look at it. None felt it was worth their time.
