I recently traded into a FBMLE. Been wanting one ever since handling Dunner's :) I liked it as it was but having held the Proto Bowie at Blade West I knew I'd like the handles better with a little filing. Well I got to working on the handles and they fit my mit perfect now. Also while I was in the shop I decided to give the beast a flase edge. The handles have an almost burnt look to the colors. Kinda cool to my eyes. Almost an earthy camo! I thinned out the edge just a tad from the factory angles. Now I just need to decide on a sheath. Can't decide on leather or kydex but I need to decide soon so this beasty can make the trip out into the woods :D

Sweet knife, sweet mods Bill! Congrats on finally obtaining your FBMLE!!!:D
 
Nice work on that one, Bill! Love the handles...:thumbup:

A girl needs a knife...
 
How about a close up of the handles ? Various angles and both sides would be appreciated, also.

Looks good, tho.
 
Sweet...very close to the same mods I ask Garth to do to my FBMLE that is at the shop.
 
excellent work. Man, I would love to see some close ups of the swedge and handle. I have been wanting to have some work done on mine as well.:thumbup:
 
I've got to get to work on sanding some of these grips down. That looks awesome!
 
More Pic Please!

Nice mods Bill. I imagine the swedge turned out nicely. I seen a couple of knives you've done up close!;)
 
Here's a few more pics. These will have to do till the sun is out again :)
