Buck alpha folding hunter

Post by muskrat man »

It's been a few days since I posted in here last, so I figured I'd drop this in for ya'll to take a look at. I just finished this one up, desert ironwood scales for a buck alpha folding hunter. With the way the handles attach (via 2 screws and no adhesive) and the quality control of buck I'm thinking of maybe making up some drop in custom replacement handles, kinda like replacement grips for pistols?

I think the quality of my photos has maxed out ::shrug::

Great looking knife. I think your "drop-in" idea is a good one!

I'm not sure what impresses me more, the quality of your knife work or the quality of your photographs. Can you share any information on your set-up and settings?

Nice job there, MM. ::tu::

I like the contrast of the grain in that ironwood. Light and dark, gotta love it. ::nod::
