First SAK mod

[lotoblades]

Hi everyone,just finished my first atempt rehandling a sak, a victorinox recruit.It was the first knife I bought my brother,his first decent knife,thought it could use some new handles,so I carved some out of some oak I had layin around.Thought I'd share some pics.

Not perfect,but turned out better than I thought.
Thanks for looking

Looks nice to me. Good for you for adding the lanyard, too. Besides being a craftsman, you show good sense.

Thanks Dr! Now I have to make one for myself,feels much more solid with the new handles,and I hated lanyards until a few years ago,now most of my outdoor knives have some sort of lanyard.
