I knocked some of the finish off the Magnum Camp and it was looking rather unsightly so I decided to give it a makeover. The handle is cocabolo. The brass guard is silver soldered in place. I gave the knife a 400 grit handrubbed finish. Kinda "Moran" looking, eh?

Man, that is really NICE! Does it still fit in the kydex sheath?
Now I keep eyeing mine and thinking about doing the same only with a different handle material....cocobolo is nasty stuff to macine!

Did you shorten and reshape the tang? Also, it looks like you reshaped the choil / hilt area as well. Correct?

Nice work. Very nice.

In answer to the above question....yes, I reshaped the choil. The guard now resides over the Camillus Stamp. The knife is hidden tang.

I hope this didnt void the factory warranty!!
