Great to see you going old school.
I'm sure it will look great. Plus when you mod a knife it really becomes yours.

 

[Swampdog]

Nice job, looking forward to seeing the final results.

 

[akguy59]

Looks good so far. I look forward to the finish.

 

[CVamberbonehead]

Thats awesome, cant wait to see the result.

Brings a very organic look to an utilitarian knife, awesome! Looking forward to the final result.

 

[Korean Hog]

Very nice! I'm looking forward to seeing the finished project as well.

 

[banana-clip]

Awesome idea, those are going to look great when you are done. I can't wait to see the finished scales.

That Izula looks fake to me, unless they decided to make the hole in the butt of the handle smaller?

 

[d762nato]

Looks nice and will definitely look better when your done, but if I were you to get that old timey look I'd strip it and patina it also.

 

[Black Oak Bladeworks]

Looking good! I look forward to seeing it finished!

I noticed that too, but I assumed it was maybe the camera angle. If I remember correctly, the micarta on mine didn’t look as green as those do, but that was probably 10 years ago, and they were quickly replaced with TKC’s g10
