Buck 55 Rehandle
Has anyone re-handled a Buck 55 and if so, what did you use and how did it turn out? I received one for Christmas and like the knife very much but I'm not too crazy about the wood handles or the way the pins stand proud of the handle. I'm trying to decide if it would be worth the $$$ to have the handles replaced.

Re: Buck 55 Rehandle
I've never rehandled one myself. But here is a few photo's of 55's with different handle types.

Re: Buck 55 Rehandle
I've rehandled a lot of bucks, 110, 112, and the smaller lockbacks like the prince, this little 55 would not be any different. One thing I have noticed is customized bucks have excellent resale if you ever have doubt about keeping it.
