Hi
This was an impulse buy a while ago, handle sucked from day one, mostly just too small for my hands but I also couldn't see it lasting.
First just replaced it with rope, but since I've got (red bull denim) micarta to spare I figured why not....
Out the box:
First mod with rope handles, sheath needed fixing as well:
Rough shaping done, 6mm SS pins:
Much better in hand:
Scales epoxy'ed and pins ground down everything cleaned up with dremmel:
Sanded and washed:
Dry:
Oiled with Balistol:
Wiped down and done, back into my camping box:
