You know I kind of thought that myself. I want to do a couple more of that kit and might try making the finger grooves like on Skyline's Randall. Might try a wood hidden tang on the other.
I've ripped apart a couple of my old knives recently to rebuild. One was my old Case XX 5" blade knife that I used for food prep when camping. The leather handle got damaged beyond repair and I'd recently bought the exact same model to replace it. Original one was 42 years old and I can remember buying it in 1980. Almost no changes in 40+ years. Deciding how I'm going to rehandle this one still - Stacked leather or wood or Micarta?
The Wife recently replaced a couple of the Kitchen knives and I'm going to try polishing the steel and replacing the plastic handle scales with Teak on her old Santouko 7".
A few days ago I scored two nice blades, two GERBER BMFs (Basic Multi Functional) both in "new out of the box" condition. One even is still in the original box.
The first one serial no. 016348, with 1st model sheath with Bianchi clip and first model Silva compass.
Second one, serial no. 056419, no serrations. The sheath has only a simple belt loop, no Bianchi clip. Both sheaths have an integrated honing steel and a Silva compass.
Comparison of the GERBER LMF and BMF and the Extrema Ratio AMF. The AMF is kind of an BMF V 2.0, the Italian company's hommage to the classic survival knife from Gerber.
