The knife in the pic is not mine, but it's the same model.
I want to get some new handle scales made for my
ESEE 4. They would go all the way to the beginning of the
sharpened edge, point A, as opposed to stopping just past point B. The reason being: I would consider the 4 a 4" blade
due to the use of a finger choil. But as I understand it, most
areas will measure by the farthest end of the handle scales.
So by getting some new scales, just a little longer, preferably
still shaped basically the same, with the additional length
also shaped like point B so it would still lock into the original sheath right and be basically a mix between a choil and a sub-
hilt, I could still carry my favorite blade. With no legal concern.
MOST of the cops here in my area are pretty cool and wouldn't ever bother me about it anyway. But better to ere on the side of caution right?
Problems is, I don't know where to get such handle scales.
Anyone here wanna take up the challenge? Or know who could/would?
Ideally, black or orange. Micarta, or G10. Form fit to
the shape of the grind where it gets to the beginning of the edge. And would cover just the very first .1" or so of the edge.
Not sure if I may be asking too much on this one, or how much it might cost. If it is out there to be had though, I'd
sure like to find it, and I figured the great community here
at BladeForums would be the best people to ask for help.
Well, I guess that's about it. All input/comments/suggestions more than welcome. Thanks for your help everyone.
