The following pictures show the work that Bob Hankins did on one of these.

Yes, I am very proud of my new knife. What do you guys think of the transformation?

Verrry schweeet! Very.

There is no doubt that big blade needed to be polished instead of parkerized or whatever. Very business-like looking now. One very nice knife!

Thank you fellas, I just received the knife and it's nicer than in the pictures. Bob does incredible work with handles. Nice brush satin finish on the blade. By the way Bob if you see this - that new ring fighter is gorgeous.
