stop.end 4,082 Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 thanks lads after loads a thought.... i just thought fill the handle holes with steel weld polish it round on the handle and a unique knife..... sheath really tight fit so it doesent fall out in awkward spots and sharpens everytime on the release due to quality leather..... gafer if your on the job it should be tidy,, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
