What are some good basic tools needed to make one? I'am thinking of cutting down, reshaping exsiting knifes and adding new grips (scales?).I know files and other hand tools I already have, but what about something like a small band saw and bench sander?
On a knife like the old hickory pancho rehandled he said it was rusted and pitted under the old handles. After clean up could you coat the tang area with something before adding the new grips to prevent this in the future?
