I’ve been married for 22 years now. On or first holiday as a married couple, my wife bought me a Swiss Army Knife. It’s one of my most treasured possessions. Over the years, regular use has resulted in lots of wear and tear do today I decided restoring this tool would be a nice little project to break in my new bench.
I prised off the existing red plastic covers and have replaced them with ones made out of Ebony. I got the Ebony as a Pen Blank so I thought it rather appropriate that it is restoring a Pen Knife. I’ve spent a happy afternoon pottering about and now have a lovely new looking knife that will hopefully see me into and beyond the next 20 years.

Cheers
