I recently picked up a Seneca Cutlery scout knife with composition black handles. I fell in love with the half stops & REALLY tight back springs but hated the cheap composition handles, thin bolsters, thin liners, and crimped in shield. Started to get night sweats so I did something about it. I know I'll get some grief from the purists out there from shining it up but I like it. I put my logo inside the liner so it'll make Jerry D. happy. (Course I forgot the date.)
Here are before and after pics...

Re: Seneca Cutlery resto-mod just because
Thanks for all of the kind words everyone.
Dimitri. I wanted thick liners because I wanted to increase the weight of the knife so it didn't feel so flimsy. This knife is 3-3/8" closed. Much smaller than most scout knives.
This may be off topic but I want to try to jig & dye my own scales and I'm looking for a dremel tool that someone used on another site but I can't seem to find one. Does anyone know where I can find this pattern?

Re: Seneca Cutlery resto-mod just because
Thanks Dale. It looks like this is a great website to find obscure tools. One could spend a lot of money there.
I found what I was looking for on this website but the diameter was too small. I did find a larger diameter one on ebay once I knew what they are called.

Holy rock & roll Elvis. That knife is beautiful. I'm still standing here on my lower jaw. You done good. I like a knife with some substance to it. And those handles... I swoon.
"I put my logo inside the liner so it'll make Jerry D. happy." I don't know where that came from but you are correct, it does make me happy. The only thing that could please me more would be for my name to be in there.
