I filed, like you, from the top down on the blade, and made my own version of a sheepsfoot. I didn't change out the scales though. You did really well on that . I like it! Dale H.
Thanks for the kind words. I hate to see good knife parts go to waste. When I saw what SF had done with his, it was a no-brainer. This project was a good one to experiment with. One of the issues I had was the screwdriver blade had such a stout snap on it, it was near impossible to open it as short as it was. I ended up filing down the tang some to ease up on the spring pressure.
I got some other ideas with this pattern, now just gotta find the time to work on them...
