Another Sar5 mod(pic)

[Justabuyer]

Blade full height convexed. Zero edge. Swedge sharpened.
High Polish hand finished. Handle cord wrapped and rubber dipped.

Feels like a knife now not a hammer. Grip feels great in lots of different grips.
Excellent control and improved comfort. Somehow I bet I am the only one that likes it. I wish you guys could feel this handle...

[J. Rosa]

I like it!!! What did you use for the rubber dip?

 

[Justabuyer]

I like it!!! What did you use for the rubber dip?

You buy it at the hardware store its called plastidip or something. Its for dipping tool handles in. Comes in all kinds of colors.

Thanks GUYS! I though everyone would hate this one.

 

[tgiannes]

Very nice.

 

[thatmguy]

[Tyrkon Lawson]

Excellent mod bro. Great idea.

 

[pbubsy]

Two words: BAD-ASS. Love that mod...it's very original and looks to be very functional as well! I'll bet it'll be a lot nicer to carry to boot!

 

[ikkyo]

I like it....do you have any experiences - how durable is the rubber-dip-thingie?

 

[barrabas74]

I will go against the grain and say I am not a fan of how far the dip goes up, something about that line clashes with my eye. I have used that rubber dip before and it is comfortable so I will say its a good idea. Not saying its ugly, just not all for me.

Cool job :thumbup:

Is it a rubber mallet now?

 

[resinguy]

Is the tang skeletonized? It looks like the wrap goes through the tang.

 

[I'mGatMan!]

VERY nice work. I think that looks better than the original by far.

 

[Lycosa]

Not like it??!! It's INFI, Mang!!

 

[Dennis in MA]

Many colors?? So some of the guys can get pink dipped knives???

Nice job. Interesting mod. I like the feel of the handle, myself. I just wish it were a bit lighter to bring the balance more to the choil-area.

 

[Justabuyer]

WOW!! Holly smokes I was very hesitant to post this one. It is so different from the original that I was sure that you guys would hate it.

THANKS!

To answer some questions...

Duribility... I think this handle is going to be VERY tough. That rubber fills all the gaps in the cord making it rock solid. It also soaks into the cord.

No I did not skeletonize the handle. I just wrapped it with a twist on each side.

I am real grateful to Busse for producing this knife and selling it at a price we can afford to buy extras of and Mod.

I think the SAR5 was a big win for everybody.

I really want to pick up another Hell Razor for this same handle treatment.
