Thanks Eric at Arksknives

Hey guys,

I was going to save these for the SPS but just couldnt. I want to give a promo to Eric at Arksknives and say thanks.

I got an '88 110 that has a reformed tip that stuck up. I loved the scales so a reblade was a no brainer. Buck reblades for a phenominal $10 which cant
be beat. About that time the thought of reblade with a 486 came out. I saw some pics and gave it considereation. I hmm-hawed around for a few months considering the price diff. At last I pulled the trigger and send it to Eric. Man am I happy:thumbup: He rebladed it and got rid of the scars and scratches.
Here are a couple befores and then the finished product.

Before:

After:

Thanks for lookin, and if youre looking for a craftsman to mod a knife, I can cerainly recommend Eric-Thanks again Eric.

Your welcome! I just noticed that your blade is stamped Buck! They must stamp some but not all of the 486 blades?

Thanks,
Eric

That knife came out beautiful---as always from Eric. His challenge did not hurt his ability to make wonderful art.

Well Fritz,

You gotta tell us how that knife handles with a it's thumb stud and thumb relief?
I find this mod to be very interesting. g

The 486 re-blade Eric did for me handles very well, the small relief lets it open nicely.

It works very well g, you do have to pay attention to open it in one motion though, not because of the mod itself, but just because of the long blade of the 110. If you arent particularly paying attention you'll have to adjust your grip at about 3/4 open. I have it down to a science now. You may find this hard to believe, but I have opened it a few times since getting it

driving my wife nuts with the constant snap as it locks open is more like it

BTW it does lock up like a vault- no blade play in any direction.
