I don't know why, but I want a Peace Maker II

I'm looking at PMIII now that my girlfriend wants to take my Boker GoBag

She wants to carry a knife too lol

You can always get another girlfriend.

I cut down the sheath on my PMIII. Compare with photos in post #25, you'll see I trimmed about 1/2" off the ears. It makes a big difference on the draw, I can get 3 fingers on the handle and it feels much more natural. I used a pair of scissors, then did a little bit of trimming around the edges with a my Bird and Trout. Will probably do the same on the PMII sheath at some point. The PMII has more handle sticking out with an unmodded sheath, so it's not as pressing.

Good job, very neat.

Lol lol, I'm happy with her, and I hope it stays this way

Thought this was interesting on my PMII. I am pushing sideways on the rubber handle. I suppose this is not much different than handle scales. Without pushing there is little/no gap. Water might seep in, so good thing this fellar is stainless, with 15% Chromium. The handle looks like solid rubber; I thought it might have been rubber over hard plastic, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Doesn't change how I feel about the knife, though.

I also did this to my PMIII. See anything different?

You ground off the guard?

You ground off the guard?

Yes! Sort of. I trimmed the guard off with my Bird and Trout. It's just soft rubber. Didn't do it any favors in the beauty department, but it wasn't much of a looker to begin with. I made sure to leave enough so it would not fall out of the sheath. Makes it more amenable to wood carving, perhaps also easier to sheath/unsheath inside the pocket. Combat is my last concern for this knife, so I'm willing to sacrifice the full guard for ease of use.

Don't know if it's my new phone but your entire knife; blade, handle & sheath look blue??

I think that is just the color of sunlight that was not corrected by the camera.
