I haven't found anything that can replace the Large Regular in this size bracket. When I need a knife this size, it's the one. It's got a lot of scratches, but isn't worst for wear. Yes, there were dings in the cutting edge, but no worry, the Edge Pro got them out. I've done a few mods to make it a little more frendly. Flute the slabs to get a grip. Grind the scallop out a little to get to the stud a little easier(open). Grind the lower end of the handle to put a little dip in it for easier handling. Install Benchmade double studs(not pictured).

Great Custom Design, I'll bet it gives it a little bit of added grip ? So many are worried about scratching their $300 + knife, to me it adds character and makes it that much more mine. Another thing, I heard mentioned around here somewhere that the individual was bummed the bluing wore off the thumb studs. I could not wait for the color to wear on mine. That only added to its used look !

I agree, and it really takes a long time to get a senenza looking "used".
 
That extra room around the stud is the only complaint I've ever had about the regular Sebbie. I've said it here and I've read it here. Folks want a Regular blade pattern with Classic scales. You have come pretty close to accomplishing that here. How did you radius that area out so well. Machined or done by hand? Either way a great one of a kind blade.
 
Thank you very much. I am very pleased with this knife.
I did all of it myself, did the scallop with my 2 x 72 belt grinder(small wheel attachment), the fluting with micro lathe. Then blasted it with Aluminum Oxide, looks pretty close to factory color.:D
