Was going to reshape the screwdriver blade, but after it was ground it did not like the finish shape.
Removed screwdriver and lock, added micarta scales, and made an ez open channel.
Much more pocketable now.

Composite scales were busted and bail was missing (if it had one originally) when I picked it up.

Next thing you know it will be cutting heads off fish. A great save and now a really good looking knife.

Sweet! That'll ride nicely in your pocket since you thinned it up.

That looks great! What I like about Micarta is the look of layering on the rounded over edges.

Thanks fellas. It definitely rides much smaller in the pocket.
This micarta is some of my favorite, second only to burlap micarta.
