eLarry Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/02/13 Posts: 126 Loc: East Texan residing in Georgia	My first attempt at knife re-handle. Took a leap of faith to cut-up my trusty Triathlete I had been carrying for six years. Without a mentor it took more thinking than actual doing. Learned new skills and appreciation for those who do it for a living. I feel like I have been given the "key to the candy store" as I can now produce my own personal preferences. Of course I made a new JLL highrise sheath to go with it! Attachments ------ ------ ------ ------ ------

eLarry Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/02/13 Posts: 126 Loc: East Texan residing in Georgia	Thank you for the comments. Here was an o'sh_t moment. Just finished rough shaping and feeling good about the rounded butt cap. Then I looked at the guard and thought well now this is going to be interesting! Lots of room for error. You can take it off, but you can't put it back on. Attachments ------

New2Randalls Knife Enthusiast Registered: 04/19/07 Posts: 1196 Loc: Kalifornia	I like your statement "first try" That's a very impressive "first try" sir. Very well done! I especially like the peened butt cap. Dan Snyder _________________________ It's best to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak up and be proven so!
