Knifemaker or skilled tradesman needed

[TheBadGuy]

Anyone reading this that has a tap set and is confident in fixing a problem for me?? :-D

I got a John Matthes folder that has a stripped out thumbdisk on it and needs the disc remounted by perhaps retapping the blade

Make sense??

Should be easy if you got the tool. I may need to order a new screw from somewhere or even a new disc. Whatever it takes...

Any takers??

I have the tools but not the skills (Just ask Bendibble :help: )

[BenDibble]

I would love to help if only i were home (dangit)


Benny has the skills, it just may take longer than expected due to unexpwcted SNAFU's. Umm by the way, what exactly is the status on the handles?

pm sent.

badguy why nod do it yourself. not very hard to retap a hole.

I have a pretty decent tap that does a few different sizes, not sure how easy it is to tap hardened stainless steel tho. tapping soft metals like aluminum is very easy tho and a good tap and turn thingy would probably only cost like $10 if you only needed the one size.

I have a tap set, just not the size I need. I just want to send it to someone and receive it fixed. I am willing to pay :-D

[nemesis too]

TBG, I'm a toolmaker by trade. I can fix it for you :) You have got my address; I won the Delta-Z. Received knife yesterday, very pleased, thanks again. I'll post a picture of it sometime Friday. Question: how do I put a pic from the Gallery into a post.

Hey man, THANKS!!!! I don't think I have your address still though, Please drop me a PM and I will get it in the mail tomorrow Thanks :)

yes we toll and die makers can be very handy. the tap would not be very expensive. simple drill out and retap. simple
