Very nice, this has been my favorite knife to mod for a while now. I have an old hickory 10" cooks knife, the 10"? I believe butcher, the sticker, the skinner, the slicer (60+ year old family heirloom), the cleaver and about 10 each of the 3.25" and 4"paring knives... I went a little crazy lol. After modding one of the 3.25" paring knives and using it awhile, I have modded 3 more but haven't touched the others yet lol. They're just the right size and really easy to do with so many options.Yours is very nice, great work and check out mine...
I don't have the third, it was sold and I can't find a pic now. Here are the sheaths
Both have wood handles, obviously, but I did consider G10 or micarta and now I know it looks great!I did force the patina on the top blade, it was easy and looks cool/ offers a little protection. I prefer to buy these vintage though, my cleaver, slicer, butcher and cooks knife are all 30+ years old and naturally patinad and rust free.I may drop the point a little more like yours on one, it looks really nice and useful. I'm glad to see anyone modding these knives, they're great quality, but can become top notch with just a little work. Thanks for sharing!
