All About Pocket Knives

This is a 2-blade Buck folder, and I just didn't like the elk covers on it. So I modded it with some stag that I had dyed, and turned the blades to both face the same way. It was decent, but I was never thrilled with the thickness of it. Also, the pattern didn't have a middle spacer, so the blade tangs rubbed in this configuration. SO, I modded it again, LOL. This time I went with some thinner stag that I had dyed, AND made a spacer. The knife has been apart quite a bit, so the bolster holes have been spread out a bit too much to blend them flush anymore. Nevertheless, I think I like it now and will probably carry it more.

First time modded


Current look

Heck yeah!!
Very nice mod Glenn.
That is usin' your head. Get those blades so they suit ya' and tote that joker!

Very nice, and much improved imo.

Turned out beautiful!

While the current look is very nice, I like the elk handles.

Agreed, the Elk was nice, just not my cup of tea

Beautiful job Glenn, that stag looks sweet! Geez you must have been taking some fingertip off sanding that down!

No lie about that!

I'd say, it's had a pretty good looking set of covers, it's entire life...but; agree, it's looking at it's best, now!!!

A great look! I don't know why it can be so satisfying to replace scales and change a blade configuration, but it certainly can feel great, especially when done this well!!!

Glenn, Great looking knife

That's about the coolest looking Buck of that pattern I've ever seen, all thanks to the stag and making the spacer and moving the blades looks factory. Another Glenngreat and that's a Buck I'd carry any day. Rocked it again Glenn. Wow you transform these babies. Hat's off.

I'm a huge Buck fan and that's gotta be one of the nicest ones I've seen!
