I may have missed it but with the Custom Shop closed is anybody doing some good rehandling work nowadays?
I scored an excellent HOG MUK LE from Cobalt and it is an exceptionally well built knife but I'm not in love with the scales. It fits my hand just fine but it does so with height and flat scales, I'd prefer it be a less tall handle with more contouring of the scales. I think it would need to have some steel removed to accomplish this.
First world problems, right? I can certainly "deal" with it as is but it's pretty close to being a perfect knife for me, I'd like to take it the rest of the way. I'm thinking of an upscaled version of the Ergo Mini MUK from the first iteration of OP2W.
I've made a few of my own knives but considering how much I like this one I really don't want to risk screwing it up. I have a handle work guy in mind but I thought it worth floating out there, I'm sure I'm not the only one wanting something similar.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
