I did some work on this knife to make it better at bushcrafting.

The handles have been rounded slightly and the "hook" on the base of the handle has been smoothed out.

I knocked the shoulder off of the edge to give it a modified convex grind, which improved feathersticking a LOT.

The spine on these knives comes rounded from the factory due to the stonewashing and they don't really throw sparks off of a steel. I brought the edges of the spine back to 90º so it will spark a firesteel with ease. I added a removable firesteel holder to the factory kydex sheath.

I'd like to get PayPal Goods and Services $SOLD Shipped USPS Lower 48. No trades at this time.

Very nice. I did the same to mine. It makes the knife function a lot better. Plus I have larger hands and that handle is tiny with that hook. It needs to be a bit longer to fit everyone’s hands. Nice job on the mods.
