Modified Production Knives (traditional only)

[coyote711]

Awesome work going on upthread, gentlemen! :thumbup: Waaay out of my league!

Here's my GEC 53 - I made the spey blade into a pen blade. I've converted a few pen blades into coping blades, but since this knife already has a nice stout sheepsfoot, and since I was bored today, I decided to make the spey into a pen.

Looking great Mark. Now that you are a knifemaker, you should start your own thread. I'm sure this is the first in many WIP's. :thumbup::thumbup:

Paul - You ain't so bad looking yourself!
