The Squatch is finished and has been restored to are more comfortable design for me. Simple mods can go a long way. After first holding this bad boy I knew it had potential to be a lot better. The butt was ground down so it is a lot more comfortable for stabbing stuff. That corner always annoyed me. The hump on the spine has been ground down. The blade over all is lighter and noticeably quicker in the hand. Chopping with it is awesome. I does not feel like I have a golf ball in my hand anymore. :thumbup:
The Squatch was modified by Tim Horan (local knifemaker)


Here is the original thread b4 the Squatch was modified and more important details.

http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=578846

The Comp SarQ. Mods include

-Re_worked Convex edge
-Spine Straightened over top part of handle
-Corner of the Butt rounded
-Para cord wrap handle with. thin layer of wax applied (stops future rust), wrapped, marine grade resin applied .
-Custom OD green kydex sheath

The end result is one bad Busse . .. And yes, I already put it thorugh some pretty tough use. Light-Heavy chopping, batoning,throwing ect......

The only thing I did was drill out the handles and polish off the decarb mess under the slabs. I had a battery powered drill but it was not getting the job done so out came the concrete drill. . :)

I really, really like the straight handle!!!:thumbup::thumbup:

The cord wrap looks great also, but with my long fingers I may prefer the slab's be put back on in my case.

What I really NEED is a SHSJ like that one!


Thanks for the great pics:thumbup:
 
It's like a SHSJ on roids! Look! It's already starting to get hairy!!! Now for the man boobs and mood swings! :p

That looks sweet though, seriously! I really like the wrap! Nicely done!
 
Thanks for the comments guys... I would like to get another Blade08 Comp. squatch and have the same mods done , except instead of a wrapped handle I will go with translucent G11 with black handle spacers.. :thumbup:
