DIY or not ?
I recently got a nice old dagger and next to a few question (does the scabbard belong to the knife and is it from the Balkans) and a couple of doubts, I did like it so I acquired it.
My biggest challenge is the quillon, which is just like a spinning wheel; completely loose. What would your advise in general be ? DIY or noy...? Looking very much forward to your input, thnx a lot! Last edited by gp; 17th May 2020 at 03:09 PM. |
