    Or use tape, lots and lots of tape!

    There was a thread about making a new back for one of these a while back.

    If you want an original back piece, you can probably find a blade in bad condition really cheep and take the back from it.

    Thanks, you guys. That certainly is enough info to get me going. I thought I was starting to know something about straights, but apparently, I know nothing.

    It will be a bit of a challenge to restore that one, good!

    If you know a competent machinist with the proper tools and skill it wouldn't be that difficult to machine a back out of stock and epoxy it in place. If you found a similar model to get the proper dimension for the spine thickness you'd be good to go.
