I have loved the argonne assault since seeing it, sadly it fit my hand horribly. I've never felt like my hands were small until holding this knife. The distance between the knuckle struts are too far apart to fit me. So I cut the one between my ring finger and pinky off. I also stripped it and polished it up and convexed the edge. Then came my hand smoothed bruiser g10 for it Here it is


Then I removed the grips and stripped it and started on the g10


Here are the grips outlined on the blanks ready to grind out


Here they are after


Then I cut the strut



Then test fitted the handles



Then sanded the grips



Then installed them and finished it. Here it is




The only real issues I ran into was my worry that I would take too much off of the finger grooves of the grips so in the light brigade area of the grip I melted solder to the curves inside the tang and used epoxy to stick it in place and sanded them smooth. Think of it as metal filler...

Thanks for your time. Ultimately this is one of the most comfortable Busses I own now.

Here is the ever growing bruiser family

Wow. Nicely done.

Your bruiser collection is sweeeet too. Everything is special or customized which really says something since they're already Busses to start with! :thumbup:

What's next? (need the emoticon with the big ears)
 
I just missed out on the fat nmfsh with bruiser on the exchange, the money wasn't readily available and it got picked up. I think I want to harpoon or have harpooned a big Busse. FFBM, or I would love to get an email saying that the finally have .41 stock or thicker in the custom shop so I can get the thickest edc ever, that's the dream.

Anyone see anything they want to trade for, shoot me a pm and we will talk
 
Came out GORGEOUS breavis! :eek:
Love all the little dimples in the INFI!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:
