All About Pocket Knives

Here's something that was a new challenge for me. These knives have a hollow metal handle and about 1 1/2" of tang from the factory. I extended the threaded tang to run the length of the handle, mirror polished the blade, guard, and the hooks, installed a premium quality sambar stag handle with red/white and blue spacers, and a threaded on nickel silver buttcap. The pics are a bit bright, but there was a lot of surfaces for the light to reflect off of.

Oh man.. that's just freakin beautiful !! Fantastic work as always !

Always Amazed Caleb!!

That is the first Buckmaster that I have ever coveted ! Beautiful work !

Nice job Kaleb!
I assume it will not be used in combat and the grappling hook option won't be used with that handle, or did you keep the steel core inside the handle?

Ahhh....Much Better!!!!!!!

It's a collectors item Dale. Buck offered a similar version from the custom shop. I'd have to question anyone that would consider using one of these for a grappling hook anyway.

That was what I was thinking, however years of managing a retail cutlery store makes me expect the unexpected.
