OK I have rough cut the handle and roughed out the scales.
Next I need to strip the knife and hand finish it and do a super thin
convex edge.

looks like a SAR without the talon hole.....interesting experiment...
 
that was one of the fastest concept to execution ideas I have seen around here. Looks sow-eeeet!
 
I think I just threw up a little. No really, it looks quite handy. Actually, I would have preferred that sort of handle to what Jerry decided on for the SAR4 or 5, that palm swell would have given me a little more comfort factor. You guys who grind the heck out of your knives have more guts than I do. I could never bring myself to do it. I'll just patiently wait until Garth finishes my NICKs and XXXL NICKs, right Garth. :D
 
I like what you're thinking for the second set of cuts!

Although you may consider filling the holes and just using epoxy for some new custom slabs --- otherwise the tubing holes may end up looking pretty off-center (low) on the handle...
 
leave the swell in bottom center of handle for comfort and the one at end to hold on too

the rest looks goods.

I ran into a problem Knife hunter. The hump on the bottom leaves no room for your fingers on the cutting board.
 
ok then...its gotta go:)

but can you leave the curves in her BUTT:)
 
Ouch! For 300 bucks you could have had a custom made by any number of talented makers. I guess it does make it your special knife though!

That exact same thought goes through my mind every time I buy a Busse. But I dismiss it. Have faith soon you will understand.
