Howdy,
I'm trying to figure out who to send some custom work to, not yet familiar with who's who here. Now then, I was kindly referred to this place by some gentlemen in a different section; looking for some advice.
I have one of these (bottom of page)
http://casesales.com/knives/silverscript.htm
Item #5429
Silver Script CopperLock®
Wharncliff blade
4-1/4" closed, 3 ounces
and love the overall size, blade shape and lock mechanism, but would like to make it more useable, um, dare I say..."tactical"?...specifically for one-handed use. To that end, I'd like an ambidextrous thumb-stud installed in the blade and small cut-outs in the handle to accomodate them. Also, I'd like to have the handle material changed to plain G10 or micarta, (no script, chews my palm) get the shiny steel bead-blasted (hate fingerprints), and some thumb roughage at the top blade-handle joint.
I know, apples into oranges, but it's a pet project. Got me plenty of time, patience, etc. Might be fun to do it myself, but the initial startup isn't really practical at this time, and I'd rather learn on a kit. Guess I'm fishing for a re-builder.
Any recommendations or resources would be greatly appreciated, and thanks for your time.
