Man you guys sure are getting you hopes up. Even I'll be amazed If I can fix it!! But I can say it will be a heck of alot of fun trying.

I tried to straighten a bent Native once and had it darn near perfect, but it was dead nuts perfect, so I tried to get that last little bit out and snaped the blade... :rolleyes:

Dont worry guys I'll show pictures of what I try.

Thanks, Brad.

Just out of curiosity, what are you going to do for the lockbar spring?

Thankfully it seems that David found it!!!! Thats actually going to save me a ton of effort. Otherwise I would have made one.

Yeah I found it and sent it along with the knife. So esentially Brad is getting the complete knife.....in pieces....with broken FRN handle, and a bent scratched to #### blade. :)

I'm not getting my hopes up. I just think this kinda stuff is fun.

There's also the infamous rippled edge coconut incident. H1 is tough but also soft, and it has it's limits like any other steel.
