Knife handle makers

[collectormzornes]

Is there any knife handle makers here that could make a set of white handles for the Ruger Accurate knife with an emblem in it. I have the knife and the emblems just can't make the handles or have the handle material. I would like to change out the handle screws to stainless also and have the handles match my vaquero grips possible. I have included pics for reference.

Is there not any knife makers out there that can rehandle this knife for me?

Obviously not too many on this forum..... Have you tried finding a custom knife maker near you that might be willing to work on it?

Hmmm ... Got ants in your pants? I think that expecting an answer in 43 minutes is not enough time.

With all due respect, he waited from Feb 24th until today, March 24th, to respond and bump it back to the top.

I apologize! What a stupid mistake. I thought it was still Feb. and he was impatient. (forehead slap)

I make knives, but still new at it and don't think I'm up to the skill level it would take to do a job like this justice.

I'm also a member of a bladesmith forum (bladesmithforum.com) and you would very likely find someone there who could take this on.

Thanks I will head that way and see what I can find. Good luck with your craft moving forward

Yes sir, I saw your initial post and almost immediately responded...but as I thought about it, I felt I had too much on my plate already to give the project the attention it deserved. I'm retiring the end of April, I was in the middle of a kit knife build for a coworker, my wife had eye surgery yesterday and the old historic courthouse I work in burnt to the ground Monday afternoon. (Didn't have that last one on my bingo card) So it would've been months before I could've gotten to it. Honestly though, and I was hoping, someone would've stepped up by now. Hopefully someone on the bladesmith forum can help you out. Keep us posted. I'd like to help you out but as I mentioned, my plate is full right now.

I understand it is on my back burner at the moment and not really important. Seems like you and I have more in common than you think all the bad luck hits at once. My father in-law passed away last Friday and Saturday as I was getting cleaned up from fixing my truck and go help the wife with som arrangements my Mother called and said my cousin that I grew up with had passed away unexpectedly. So I got not one but two gut punches in two days so a lot of things have been moved around on my plate so to speak. Thank you very much for the explanation and I hope everything works out for you.
