Would it be crazy spend more on a customization than I spent on the Knife?

not to derail your thread but is Tom doing regrinds again?

I did not know he had stopped and so I emailed him and he quoted $45 for a small folder like the packrat. Return ship and handling $10. The service however is not mentioned at all on his website.

Hello Pot, I'm the kettle...I'm pimping my SOG Vulcan ($90) with a Tuff G10 handle ($100).

that sounds really interesting, could you post a picture? The zytel on it was always the worst part of the knife


To OP: I put a $200 reblade on a $60 platform and it rocks. I'd say go for it

Can someone provide me with information on how to get in touch with Tom about regrinds? Im having a hard time finding his info..

I will post when it gets done. I haven't sent it yet I emailed him and got a price quote. The handle isn't bad now just would be and awesome EDC with olive drab G10. BTW specs on that blade please.

Is it strange to spend $8000+ on a 1980-something Buick and turn it into a "Low-Rider" or take a Honda Civic (which is not known as an expensive car) and trick it out to where it performs like a champ?

Nobody can tell you if something is worth something except you. If it's worth it to you then it's worth it. At least that's the way I try to see things always.

if it's what you want than it's worth the money after all you can't take it with you
