Blade swap recommendation

[m.and]

Hello all,

I have seen some really nice blade swaps show up on here (mainly 112's with a 482, 450 or similar blade) and I was wondering if someone could possibly recommend a forum member to do a blade swap for me.

The project I have in mind is to put an S30V blade from a custom shop 501 into an old 440C/Burgundy Buckarta 501. I contacted Buck about replacing the old 440C blade with S30V and they said they could only do a 420HC replacement.

Best,
Matthew

I would recommend either Leroy Remer or Heath Stone. Leroy has done work for me...haven't had Heath, but there are members here that have had Heath do work for them. Preston

Thanks for the recommendation Preston.

You could also try JAG Knives. Jerad is a site sponsor who should benefit from paying for that membership level. There is also a “Service Request” forum here:

Read the sticky there.
Nothing against Leroy or Heath! They do fantastic work! But their business hasn’t paid for a membership here in a couple of years. The paying sponsors of this site should get the love.
