Hey folks,
I've got a question for those that customize production knives. How would I go about stripping out the kraton inserts of my Top Lock II, so that I may add my own inserts, possibly malachite or turquoise? Also, would I be able to dismantle the knife, so that I may replace the firing button, again with malachite or turquoise, without making a mess of it and the spring? Keep in mind, I am an amatuer and this would be my first attempt at customization. I have recently purchased this Top Lock II for 40 bucks and figured why not fool around with it, since I got it so cheap. Maybe even turn around and sell it for three times what I paid, or just keep it for my case. Any suggestions / recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
