After looking around this site its not what you could call a modification
but...
I stripped the knife down, very easily
Using a belt sander and some sandpaper I rubbed down all the edges
The scales are now drying in the garage after having a coat of Danish oil applied
fingers crossed now! :tu:

Hope so!
When I got it the knife didn't feel good in my hand,
If it was to get a lot of use it would be uncomfortable
so I thought it will be quick an easy to fix ....

just got to wait a couple of hours now :ahhh

It works like a cut throat razor
Its quite primitive the blade is loosely held between the two scales
when it has opened your hand holds it open
Not sure if that makes sense? :think:
It takes some getting used to


I was too slow....What he said

Yeah to be to the letter of the law it needs a bit of a trim.  No biggie though.

I still carry and use mine (ta Mike ;) ) but I've stopped pocket carrying it after a couple of premature deployments  :-[

Mine has the plastic scales.  I did think about making some wood ones but to be honest I'm pretty happy with the plastic.
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

That's a bit worrying! :o

Here it is,
I'm not completely happy with the finish but I'm impatient and wanted to get it
back together ASAP,
I also thought as its only held together by a couple of screws there's no problem
 in redoing it in the future

It feels a lot better in my hand now,  :tu:
Now I need to get used to opening it :think:

Thanks Guys, :tu:

I think (when I get around to it) I will put a spacer between the scales
on the rear screw and also a drop of 'thread lock'
That will make it easier to open and close ::)

I'm in two minds now  :ahhh cos I'm thinking about making the blade ¼ of an inch shorter,
and a bit worried about buggering it up,  :twak:

I have added a spacer, I used a washer and it works great!  :tu:
