Sifu Blade Question

[Dark Nemesis]

Couldn't decide if this would be better here, or on the custom forum. Figured I'd start here.

I was wondering if anyone thought it would be possible to take a Rekat Sifu blade and have a custom maker basically turn it into an integral or liner lock. Since the Sifu originally used the Rolling Lock I would image the grind arount the pivot area would have to be modified for a new stop pin and so it would accomodate a liner or integral lock to engage, but does it seem like a physical possibility?

There are so many pics posted of makers that have modified and/or replaced scales on production knives....so how about making an entire new handle assembly?

The Sifu blade has always been attractive to me, but I could never get used to having my lock on the handle side. Its been a curiosity of mine as to whether I could remove the problem all together.

I'd gladly go and find a Sifu if a custom maker wanted to pick up my little project.

Hey Dark N., why not just approach a custom maker about making a large fold with a blade shape similar to the Sifu? Start from scratch?

 

[Dark Nemesis]

Yeah, that would be an approach too.....an more expensive approach, but an approach none the less

You might want to search the Emerson forum for info on the titanium integral Commander handles.
