Pics of customized production knives

Here are a couple of Enduras. The top knife has a ZDP-189 flat ground blade stuck in a G-10 handle. The lower knife has a ZDP-189 Saber ground blade converted into a chicken boner. The handle is also G-10.View attachment 460010

CRKT M16 Tanto Shiv, I picked up this knife and it was pretty beaten so I thought I would try my hand at reshaping and profiling a knife. I think it turned out ok.

If that axis bar gets down behind the hook....you have no lock & no detent.
So, please be very careful.
 
Keyman... that Micarta gives me that 'favorite pair of slippers' feeling...! Broken in... familiar... and oh so comfortable! NICE!!!
 
The inimitable Keyman has gazed upon my lowly handiwork! Jk, but not about the inimitable part. I just re-checked the rift to make sure, the G10 does not allow the Axis lock to travel past it's normal range. I made sure about that cause it would be a huge pain. I had the scales off & just really liked the look of the entire Axis opening, almost like a wave... Keyman your CF ZT up there is awesome.

My next 2 projects are my first go at a ritter grip in G10 & mini-grip in kirinite.
 
Thanks Braincandle.
I'm always snoopin' around seeing what everyones doin' or tryin'.
It's a great big bowl of creativity from all different perspectives, very cool.
My apologies about the axis hole.
It looked a little like it might be able to disingauge.
But, if it can't....well then excellent, your good to go.
The Rift is somewhat easy cause of it's full liners.
All that's really needed is a flat scale with a little room for the axis springs.
The next two knives you plan on doing, both have nested liners.
That's going to be a little more challenging. ;)
Good luck...be sure to post some pics!
 
My first attempt at a pattern, I think it turned out OK. Definitely could have done better... Being a perfectionist sucks :p
