TEW re-pantsed

Post by glennbad »

I had bought a few of these newer TEW (Taylors Eye Witness) knives from across the pond. They're not horribly made, and priced right, so would make for a good mod project. The original covers were just a bare-head uninspiring jigged black plastic like shown in the first pic, so I thought I would try something different.

I had this red home-made micarta that I was given some time back, so I decided to try it out. I also added a hound's-tooth shield for some flair. All in all not a bad end result I guess...

Looks great, and will be more durable than the originals.

Looks like a very comfortable carry, Glenn.

Good job!

That is a great look! The shield really matches with the birds-eye, bringing the while thing together just right. Way to try something new, and hit a home run!
