The problem (?) I see is that these are becoming quite valuable as collectors items and I'd be hesitant to 'mod' on an unused example.

Click to expand... I'd most likely try it with a used knife. The NIB ones are too expensive.

I say do what you want with what you've got. Collect if you want to, add thumbstuds if you want to. You only live once.
