Reincarnated EZE Opener

Post by Diligence »

Latest project.

Old NewYork opener, totally trashed.

Replaced the blades using various Camillus blades, but had to reprofiled them from tang to tip and home made Impala jigged impala. (paper micarta).

I'm happy with the results, but I still need to work on my photos.

Thanks MM....I had the luck to go to a gun show and handle some full sized Impala antlers....crazy stuff! Really rugged and irregular, but Micarta Impala seems to grow much smoother... :P

Very nice indeed, I love the handles and the blades fit the look of the whole thing.
