Modified Production Knives (traditional only)

[birdvis]

Here are a few more TL29 mods and a Paul Rimpler with burlap and denim micarta I made myself, and a SAK with natural canvas micarta just for fun

Very nice! Thanks for the pics!

Birdvis, that denim looks great! Been wanting to try that. Did u use epoxy?
That lambsfoot birdseye with angled edges...hubba hubba!

No idea who did the mods on this OT/Schrade hybrid but they did a superb job on the covers as the jigging and coloring are really nice.

Here's one of my recent TL-29 builds...

This is by far my favorite thread on BF. Good work guys!

Replaced the broken plastic covers of my father's SAK today with something a bit nicer .

It is polyester resin. Used it for a few types of micarta and it seems to be holding up nicely

The Bocote on that SAK kicks butt! Pretty work sturzi.

Thank you FOG2, I'm already a bit envious of it, my own walnut SAK in the background seems a bit plain all of a sudden .

ABL circa 1951 Belgium Army Knife (ok - maybe not your usual production knife) modified by glennbad with ivory micarta scales. This picture does not do it justice....

May I ask a question of the modders on this thread? Do you think it'd be possible to re-grind a GEC #15 One-Arm down to a clip point? I think the profile might be there, but it's close. Any opinion would be much appreciated.

You should be able to do something with that, IMO.

I started with this Case mini trapper that came with some sorta plastic scales that made a nice knife UGLY!


I put these Wenge Wood scales on it.


Added some palm swell
And now she is NO ugly duckling.
I still need to put some kinda finish on her, I tried a couple different one's but sanded them off as they darkened the wood to much and I couldn't see the grain of the wood well enough to satisfy me.
Does anyone have some advise? Maybe some wax?
