Inspired by some of the beautiful work I've seen here. I tried my hand at some conversions, below are pic's of a Klein Hawkbill that I redone. I eliminated the screwdriver blade, modified the tang of the main blade to utilize the locking liner, made a rear bolster and re-handled in walnut from an old damaged gunstock I had lying around, also in the pic's is a Boker USA Congress I had picked up at a local Antique Store.

Re: Klein Hawkbill Electricians Knife Conversion
Nice work. Do you have any before pictures?
Re: Klein Hawkbill Electricians Knife Conversion
Thanks
No I didn't take pic's before I started, the next one I do I'll try to take some before pic's.

It looks good Jim.
You have to be careful, as I have said many times; customizing knives is way more addictive than just collecting them!

Too bad. You will know you are really addicted when you sell your safe queens to buy old broken knives just so you can repair them!Plas62 wrote:It's to late, I'm already hooked.
