I have been reading all I can here and researching the tools I may need. I have 4 knives I want to "rebuild". Two are kitchen and 2 are hunting/skinners. This may be a dumb question, but what is the easiest way to remove the old scales? I could grind them off but that seems really dusty. I could protect the blade with leather, put in a vise and hacksaw the old scales and pins off.
My to be shop is in a spare room upstairs that I will have a DP and belt sander connected to a crude but effective duct collection system (still in building stage). This is why I am concerned about grinding off the old scales.
I am 60 and nearing retirement, I though I could build a part time business rebuilding and sharpening knives.
Any comments welcome.
