Customized Kershaw Big Joe

As some of you know I am spending a lot of time in the shop to get ready for the OKCA show next week.
I am making a variety of knives for the show.
Since Oregon companies are always popular here in Oregon and at the show I thought I would customize at least one Kershaw, (even though this knife was made in Japan).

It is a Kershaw Big Joe that has a nice full bade, though it has been used.
I removed the old handles and replaced them with black bone jigged to look like impala horn.
The impala jigging on the horn sure makes for a good grip on the handle.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Thanks guys. ::tu::
It is a bit different from the traditional slipjoints but they are fun to work on, IMO.
