Modded My SEAL 2000

[Longtrang]

So this beat up looking thing was my go to knife for my entire Army career. It's cut tires for Humvee push-guards, helped prep shelters on FTX, saved my life in Iraq etc, etc. Well a while back one of my buddies broke the very tip off by stabbing it into a 2x4, hit a nail I think. So it's been sitting in a drawer for about a year, figured it was time to show the old girl some tlc. Used a heat-gun and a phone book to take the rattle out of the sheath. Put a decent edge on the top, a razor edge on the blade proper and I fixed the tip. A guy at work offered to bead blast it but I kinda like the beat up look. Now it slides through almost anything like butter. Only thing that is a better stabber is my Desert Dagger.

I used that same knife for many years, backpacking especially. I never sharpened the top clip on mine, I bet it does stab better. Cool mod, and I like the used look on that one.

Thanks, I sharpened the clip in part to repair and reshape the tip.

NICE !!!!!

my SOG Seal 2000 is still with a soldier. He borrowed it from me and deployed 4 years ago, and has since returned safely, but before he could return the Seal to me, he got sent elsewhere and I haven't been able to find him (yet). He could be deployed again, for all I know. It will have some great stories by the time it returns back home.

Cheers,

Carl

Here is what the knife and sheath looked like at the start.
