I, like most of y'all, collect Third Reich era militaria, especially edged weapons. I am a Retired/Disabled US Army Vet. For the last five years I have been repairing/restoring all types of German edged pieces, most especially the Luftwaffe Gravity knives. I have probably repaired over 60 gravity knives in the last couple years. Since original parts are far and few between, I make my own repair parts for these gravitas. I will try and start a new thread in the next day or two and share some photos of my work if anyone is interested. Have a great day my friends.
Welcome to the forum. I would love to see some of your work
Yes, Welcome.
Broken gravity knives are hard to fix, I am told, so we are looking for ward to your photos.
