knife repair/mod

Hi,

New poster here, so this may not be the correct place for this. I have an "old" Bowie knife that was my grandfathers. I don't think it's anything special, except to me, but was wondering how to find someone in N. central Texas that might be able to remove the stag handle, replace the "guard" with one that is more "substantial", polish and sharpen the blade( it has a portion that has some rust(?) from being in a scabbard)?

Any help would be appreciated

Redraider
