Title: rebuilt handle for a KA-Bar caper-pics
Post by: Bodork on February 25, 2008, 08:08:00 PM
A friend of mine bought a KA-Bar knife and decided he wanted a handle other than the rubber one it came with. He asked me if I could re-do it for him and I just couldn't resist. Although it had its challenges, the knife came out fantastic. Here is a before and after pic. I used gaboon ebony and sheephorn with a brass finger guard and spacer. Mike
