Any pics of re-handled Basics?

[cpirtle]

I'm thinking of re-handling a Basic 7 in Micarta.

Anyone ever done it or have any pictures of one that was done?

It'd also be great if anyone has a picture of the tang when the handle is removed so I can have an idea of what to expect.

Thanks!

I'll give a shot at posting a pic of my naked Busse Basic 9 (handle removed, coating removed). It should give you a good idea of what the innards of a 7 would look like. If it doesn't come through, e-mail me and I'll send you a copy of the picture.

s002cjs sent me the pic since his wasn't working. Here it is. Thanks for the help CJ.

Mike Turber had a very good pic of a Basic tang in a review he did. Pic is at http://www.bladeforums.com/magazine/trial/csvsbusse-10.html Click on the pics to see larger versions of them.
