Cold steel laredo and natchez bowie customization

[Will Batayte]

Anyone out there that can do a re guard on these two knives? Id like to get a true devil horn hell's belle style fighting guard put on these two knives. Maybe also a spanish notch if its feasable. Im also open to changing the handle on the laredo. I'm not ready to do it yet but just checking out my options. ill be waiting for the Sk5 natchez. And i dont own the laredo yet either. Anyone interested in doing this let me know what we'd be looking at in terms or pricing. Oh also these customizations would need to work with the balance of the knife. It needs to remain light and fast with the balance point about an inch forward from the guard.

i did a rehandle on a laredo bowie for a member in the armed forces. it was a collaboration project. i machined out all the parts and he did all the finish work. i made it into a loveless style handle with black micarta used for the handle. he has yet to send me some pictures of the finished knife but i have some of the knife with the parts i machined out if you would want to see them. send me an email and i'll send you some pictures rje196021@gmail.com
