Would like to replace Busse handle with Stag

[JohnS]

I've been trying to trade my Busse Badger Attack for a Stag handled Hunter. Its been quite a while and no offers that I wanted to go for. I've started wondering - my knife is in mint condition and its the size I want - Maybe I could have the handle replaced with stag. Could someone direct me to somebody who would do a good job at this?

Thanks for the help - i hadn't thought about trying to do it myself.
Can anyone tell me where to find info on doing this and where to buy Stag?

http://ckdforums.com/index.php?s= is a forum for knife makers...alot of great info on how to do it and where to get supplies.

Goes with out saying that if you ever wanted to resell the knife the resale value may be compromised.

Thanks for the link. Maybe I could start with a cheaper knife to see how I do.
