\"IMG_0795\"<\/a> \"IMG_3515\"<\/a> \"IMG_3516\"<\/a> \"IMG_3518\"<\/a> \"IMG_3521\"<\/a>I Recently \u00a0I had a new experience with the return of a knife for repair.<\/p>\n

Not just a knife but a Klingon Kleaver complete with Electo-Etched Klingon Writing.<\/p>\n

The tang had separated from the blade body but was still tightly installed in the handle.<\/p>\n

The Klingon \u00a0field repair cutting tools technician has thermally fused the blade onto another tang while carefully protecting the blade temper through application of heat sink material and salvaged the “Cook or Fight” etching intact. see \u00a0 \u00a0KLI.Org<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thereafter, the blade was shortened by mechanical abrasion belt grinder approximately the dorsal skin thickness of a\u00a0DenIb Qatlh\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0(Denebian Slime devil) and a new ricasso was established . The thermal fusion repair was not fully ground and was left as what it represents , a prideful scar for a tool well used. \u00a0Although now shortened, the blade retains good balance for kitchen craft and battle,with sufficient size of edge to dispatch\u00a0jaghla’<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A new brass ferrule has been machined, polished and fitted along with a new pressure impregnated stabilized olive wood handle of proprietary contour\/configuration which has been attached using a binary catalyzed polymer.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The saya has been sanded smooth and new penetrating tung oil finish applied to enhance it’s appearance and serviceability.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The blade has been diamond honed after a careful flatside \u00a0polish to revive the cutting edge to renewed razor sharpness which was demonstrated on cellulose sheet.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The blade should be fully serviceable in one earth rotational period and is awaiting transport back to the owner.<\/div>\n
