That's a beauty! Just my opinion, I like the look of the pile side better than the mark side antler on this one. I often find that when I am choosing stag for a knife, when it is done, I wish I had swapped the pile side and mark side.

Regardless, it looks sweet!

Awesome transformation for the Queen Q! And thanks for posting Barry's contact info. I have two fixed blades needing handles.

Great Mods everyone!

After seeing all the beautiful knives posted on here, I felt it was time to send ol' Barry a few of my synthetics and such, that I had picked up over the years and were in need of some handle upgrades. I sent him the 6 knives in the first picture and received 5 of them in the mail today. Still waiting on the perfect Mammoth Bark before we do the Cheetah.

Thanks again, Barry, for a job WELL DONE! ::handshake::

BIGHEAD and Midas seem to have a lot in common. Every thing he touches turns to treasure.

GREAT Mammoth mods, Kevin! 8) ::tu:: Turned those hum-drum synthetic handled knives into works of art worthy of your awesome collection in true rags-to-riches fashion. Barry's got the Midas touch when it comes to making a silk purse out of a sow's ear, that's for sure! :D

They say a Cheetah never changes its spots, but I can't wait to see your Cheetah dressed up in the "perfect Mammoth Bark" ::nod::

Thanks guys!!! Appreciate all the great feedback. ::handshake:: Wasn't sure if I would like the Mammoth Tooth Trapper mods as well as the Ivory, but I must admit, they are even nicer than expected and I love them all. May have to round up a couple more Trappers to add a few more colors to my new Mammoth Trapper Sub-Collection. Thanks again Barry. ::ds::
