I have a ?

[Covey]

I have an old timer 150T it has a 5 3/4" blade! I'm kinda partial to it because my dad, who past away 6 years ago carryed this knife every year to Canada,and everywhere else he went! There is nothing wrong with the knife, just a little to big for my liking, so I was curious if anybody would be interested in making a little smaller drop point out of the blade? or how hard would it be to do myself? I like knives but never made one in my life!! any help would be great! Jason

Covey:

In my opinion, and that is all it is, if it were my knife and it had the history yours does. I would leave it alone and make a knife that looks similar to it. It sounds like a real treasure, keep it the way it is.

Jason, think about it, once it is altered it is that way forever.
But if you want to modify it into a shorter droppoint, I'll do it for you , all you need to pay for is shipping both ways.
You can do it yourself if you have a cutoff wheel on a die grinder, and a standard bench grinder.  Then some good wet/dry sandpaper of various grits and a sanding block.

This knife is probably 30 years old maybe older! I want a knife that I can use and still keep the sentimental part of it! about the only thing I would like to use is the steal, I would even like to change the handle! then I could say, I made, or a fella made me this knife out of the one my dad use to carry all the time!!     Thanks for the reply's, Jason

Covey,
I have to agree with TBRA & Oconee Dan. Once you change it, it's not the knife your Dad used. Not even close . . If there's sentiment in it leave it as is & keep an eye out for one you'd really like to have.
Get in touch w/ Sticshooter, or one of the other makers on here they make some nice stuff very reasonably priced considering the time invested.
JMHO. . .
