A few years back, I bought a little custom knife made from 1095 steel. I failed to inform the maker that I need a large handle, and when I got it in the mail, I was very disappointed with the short, thin handle.
I finally sent it off to the fellow that does my knife re works. He has had the knife since the spring, but he is a busy guy, and thats fine.
He and I worked together on the handle, and went from Bloodwood to Black Micarta. It was a lot of work to get the new handle on the knife, but he did a heck of a good job.
First shot is the knife with the old handle, and then some shots of the knife as it looks with the new handle.
The knife was always sharp, and holds a great edge. It now has a handle big enough for me to add it in with the USER knives.
