Two Culti G-Rex mods............

[randucci]

I thought I would challange myself with a handle mod with some material I hadn't used before and a more difficult installation. You don't see stag very often on Busse knives so I thought I would try it. I wanted to keep the micarta as a bolster, so I thought I would try the G-Rex style. I made it a little more difficult by dovetailing the the two together. I have a little more to do in adding some brown to the white area of the stag, but other than that it is done, what do you think?

 

[randucci]

I liked the stag G-Rex so much, I thought I would make an even more difficult mod! You also don't see carbon fiber used on Busse knives, so I decided to do a double G-Rex dovetail bolster handle mod. I really like the way this one ended up, it made a nice palm swell and the carbon fiber really stands out!

Here are the pictures of the final finished knives together...

Nice job Ducci and the dovetailing is a classy treatment. That's one of the things I like about the Thourot knives I own.

I'll admit, it doesn't look like it would feel too good, but the ramp on the stag where it meets the micarta kind of gives it a thumb rest on one side and a finger rest on the other for a positive grip. Plus the length is short enough for the butt to fit in your palm, kind of like the rounded end of a awl.
