Handle extension

[gull wing]

My small Insingo is a part of me, it's so very useful. Sometimes I find the handle a bit too short (and i have small hands), not a really big issue mind you, but enough to see if I could "help" it a bit. I came up with this: Tan G10 with some jimping. Yes, it looks like **** , but I can feel the difference. I may or may not keep it, we will see.

Nice work! WHo cares how it looks as long as it works for you! :thumbup::thumbup:

Curious, does it give you any issues when in your pocket?

Benchmade thumb stud's?

reminds me sort of of Kevin Wilkin's style of backspacer.

No problems in the pocket, it just gives me more to grab on to.

Yes, BM thumbstud. I have low Performance thumbs, (surgery), this helps.

Very slick work there gull wing. I like it. I don't think it looks bad not at all. It's got a bauhaus element to it actually. If it was metal it'd be very saleable. My small classic sometimes longs for something like this on some cutting tasks so I know what you're talking about.

Nice work.

How did you get the BM thumbstuds to work? Do they just screw together, and you lined them up centered over the hole? Did you punch out the CR thumbstud?

Gull Wing I Think It Looks Great...........

Cool idea, and not bad looking at all. I suppose you could get some gray g 10 if color was an issue.

I really like your addition... I think it looks good too. I gave up carrying a small Sebie because the handle was too small. Now I have a large Insingo and think the blade is too big to use when around people I don't know.
