makandr, the knife above the Geber, is that a Hunting Knife, and did it start life like that or is it cut down from a sword? Thanks, John
 
i have the same ultima, does yours hurt your hand on the bottom pommel talon?
Yep, it actually has too much bite. Its my utility/ranch knife so i plasti-dipped it. Made all the difference in the world. Just one dip. The handle was chipped up quite a bit as the scales aren't the best material, so i took a dremel to smooth out some of the damaged pieces and some of the sharper factory edges before dipping. I trimmed the rubber off the prying device with a razor. If I were to try my hand at making scales I would start with this one. If you were asking about the prying device, i took some of the edges down with a file as it was sharper than what it needed to be for pulling nails, etc. Same treatment I usually have to do on any pistol under $500. The Hoffner knife is perfect as is.

I've been known to dremel off unwanted parts on firearms and I wouldn't think twice about cutting that off if I didn't use it either. I've made cuts into a stainless Colt Officers slide with an unreinforced cutting disk but I'd probably go with the fiber reinforced one to be safe.
