Krassh, great job on your Marine Raider. I have modified mine by reshaping the blade much as Bill Bagwell suggested in his explanation of converting a Western W49 into a fighting knife. Here is a photo.


I would love to redo my handle as you have done here. How did you attach the pommel?

Wenge Wood on a Case mini Trapper.
Both sides have the same color. The 2nd pic with the darker wood is the accurate picture.

Threaded the end of the tang and tapped a piece of steel

Threaded the end of the tang and tapped a piece of steel

here is my tang. can I thread it like this? or do I have to round it, or weld on a rod? do I need special dies to thread the hardened steel?

Can't see your pic, but I didn't weld anything, I cut 2 corners off so it had a stem about 3/8" long and roughly equal side on all all four sides. Than I used my crap belt sander to make that stem round, than I threaded it with a cheep tap and die from harbor freight that broke the first time.

For the cap end I used a chopped off piece of steel from bar stock, drilled and tapped it.

I threaded that on last with the last couple pieces of leather, like in the video

I am thinking the hole in the tang will prevent me from rounding it completely, yet I can round the edges and attempt to threat it. do I drill a 3/8" hole in the pommel cap, then tap that hole?

I had a Condor Hudson Bay and I wanted a big bowie. This is what I came up with.

I decided to try a Rat 2 after seeing all the great reviews for years, and found that the pink ones are significantly less expensive. Soooo, I bought one with the intent of dyeing it pretty much right away. I used the liquid Rit dye in aquamarine with boiling water and vinegar. I didn't time it, but I would say it was soaking for 15-20mins. I think it came out great!

That is awesome looking, I'll have to try that

Kershaw CQC-1K,full flat ground to 0.005" and acid stonewashed. Damn decent knife for $20 shipped off the big river site... satisfied my Gentleman Jim itch (that I would've had to regrind too, probably)
