Well done.![]()
Just finished this modification of a GEC 21 Bull Buster. I enjoyed doing it, and I think I prefer the 74ish handle shape and spear point. I definitely prefer the slimmer handles.
Classic and beautiful knife.
Lol...You can't never tell when my screws might get loose!
Lovely pairing, Ron.
Probably the best handles they have done.

Thanks for your thoughts on re-opening.
Our country will be re-opening soon and it gives us a glimpse.
Lol...

Seems a shame they never ran it with a different blade.
I scratch my head sometimes when I see their design choices.
Superb new/old pair, Steve; the "fingerprint patina" on the Imperial's main blade is cool!

Nice... Same thing happened to me a while back.Everyday since I got it...
I think.
Sad to think that, not so long ago, I didn't care much for traditional folders.

I should carry this early SW 881 more, and let it patina (since the blades have had a light buff). The sodbuster jr has bone that looks more like what you would find on an old knife than a new one.
