I was bored and really hated this knife because the "rayskin" wrap looked junky, the knife was very dull with the stock grind, and I didn't like how the grind terminated into the wrap without a choil. I ground down the secondary bevel and then put a razor sharp edge on it with the sharp maker. Its a really nice little knife now. The handle is paracord that after I wrapped it was "dipped" in brushed on super glue. It is a very hard plastic feeling wrap with nice grip. The white stuff is super glue that hasn't worn off yet. I reapplied some around the guard and consequently it is white again. I also sanded off the etched CRKT Made in China part. Yes it is made in China but I'd rather not look at it.

Here is a new one (not mine):

Heres how it looks now:

Kind of feels like a 440A Stainless Mora with a full tang and tanto point. If I get access to a drill press I will probably drill two holes in it for pins and make a wood handle.
