First time handle MOD (rip ESEE thread)

[ISKski]

Well, my beloved Izula got some new life blown into it today, First attempt at making a handle..
I don't feel like typing so I'll let the pictures do the talking
But I would like to thank anyone and everyone who posted any helpful information out here in BF

Before

this cocobolo was gifted to me by a guy whose house I was working on

I made it to fit the ESEE sheath, which I think made the handles too short, so maybe I'll have to buy another one, try again, and next time, try my hands at some leather too

Thanks for looking...

Overall the fit and finish is decent except for this spot, It broke while I was hacksawing out the profile, but its okay

That looks fantastic. Where did you get the pins to attach the scales? I'm going to try putting a new handle on a knife as well, and those pins look like they're perfect for the job.

^^ they are 1/4'' corby bolts/rivits (get nickel silver if your using hand tools like i did) , google them, and you'll find someone who sells them (can't advertise for them here on BF)
