This one isn't a real pairing per se. But I used the Alox to loosen the pivot of the M16 in order to remove the autolawks. But I thought I would take a shot of the pair as this is my second cadet. The first one was stolen a few years back.
Loving this Cadet though, it's really handy!

I don't think the enjoyment ever ends. No matter which traditionals come with me, the PM2 is almost always (95% of the time) with me. :thumbup:
Really like that GEC clip!

Thanks. The PM2 is a great knife and really lives up to all the intrenet hype. The blades on the Muskrat are very thin and nearly slices as well as my Opinels. I believe ebony has become my favorite traditional handle material.

Is that 'rat 1095? For me, I think favorite covers might have to go to camel bone:
Nice, dark ebony is pretty great too, just a little underrepresented. I was slow to the party, I only recently discovered the wonderment of the Osage orange tree.

It is 1095, camel bone looks great, i have not had the pleasure yet to enjoy it in person.

Nice classic, Dan!
I just can't seem to keep these two out of my pocket.

I see I haven't posted in this thread. The only work of this kind I've done is re-profile the blade on a POS Imperial fish knife that had the blade tipped. Certainly no big deal.
However I do have a few that were modified by others. Let's start out with a couple of Electrician Knives by a fella you all know, Glennbad. Glenn has re-handled a few others for me but I'm sorry to say I had work done by three or four others so I don't remember which ones are Glenn's work and which ones are done by someone else. Should have kept track but it's too late now. I also have a Camillus 23 in Glenn's work queue but you all know what a busy fella he is so it may be a while before I get to display it.
I'll probably get my unit slapped for this one but I don't care. I love it. A fella down in S.W. Missouri re-handled this Kershaw Leek for me in Culpepper smooth bone with the colors of the Viet Nam Service Ribbon. Thanks Rob (Whitebuffalo58), it's one of a handful of favorites.
Rob also put together this Camillus 72 Frankenknife for me as a surprise gift. He used a Stockman sheepfoot blade in place of the coping blade and Whitetail antler handles. He also put a regular clip blade in it instead of the 72 clip blade and a pen blade on the cap end instead of the small clip. Another of my favorites.
Rob did this Frankenknife for me at my request. I had him replace the small clip blade on a Camillus 72 with a small screwdriver/cap lifter. It's my EDC. Are you starting to notice a theme here?
This one was a surprise gifted to me by Dale Vincent (orvet). Made my jaw drop. What a guy and what a knife. I believe this one started life as an Electrician's Knife too.
I think that's enough for now.

Thanks Eric
A great combo yourself there.
A CRK folder with a traditional just compliment each other so well. :thumbup:

These two are with me at my busy shop today,
Sprint run Military, M390 and carbon fiber, very well used by my me(pretty sure it has been run over by a car too), along with a slip joint by Bruce Barnett J.S. in Sheoak lace and Bruce's own mosaic starburst damascus
