Blade Swapping and Custom Duracoat work (550/551/BC/520)

[scsu74]

I have been working on a couple projects over the past few months and finally everything is done. The knives involved: 551 Camp Perry (Handle), 550BK (Blade), 520 (Handle), BC 15020 (Blade). I started with a 551 serrated knife and sent it in to BM to have the blade swapped for a 550BK blade. Around the same time I placed an order for a 551 Camp Perry through BM and I picked up a BC 15020 off the forums here. I also initiated a trade with MLEY1 (Great guy) to acquire a 520 he was selling for my Camp Perry blade and 551 handle.

Once I had all the blades I removed the Camp Perry blade and swapped it with the 550BK blade. I took the Camp Perry blade and installed it in the 551 handle and sent it off to MLEY1.

The 15020 blade I sent to Tango Down (Great guy, excellent work) to have it blasted and duracoated (Hated the laser markings on the stock blade). When the blade came back I installed in in the 520 handle from MLEY1.

I think that's about it....

And of course.... PICS!

In other news if anyone is interested in a BC 15020 with a 520 blade or a 523BK CE blade drop me a PM/Email Sales thread:

Very awesome. I love how they both turned out. Beautiful combinations. =] I'd gladly take that Camp Perry 550HG off your hands lol. Just great looking.

I really like how they turned out, now if i could get a blue/black scale for my xm-18 I'd be set!
