BMK really make some outstanding Sub Hilt Knives. The sub hilt really keep the knife in your hand with some of the big heavies. Let's see some more examples.

Steve thanks for the comments, glad you like them.
How bout a couple of re-handled Randall's with sub-hilts?
First one is a 1-7, copper hardware, Cooper Firearms gunstock handle. Second one is a 12-13 Thorpe, double sub-hilt, inspired by Bo's first sub-hilt Smithsonian. Handle is a FWI artifact tip that I had and it fit perfectly.
Mudbone leather for both.
