Superior craftsmanship Tom. I can't thank you enough.

Here's a 1-7 transformed. BMK copper guards, Cooper Arms gunstock handle, black Ceracoat finish, Mudbone leather w/elephant inlay.

I bought this unfinished Low S Kit blade on eBay probably 10 years ago. I asked James to finish it in a period looking style with brown micarta. the blade is circa 1964. It's the oldest blade I have seen with a "kit" etch.

Warren, Mitchell & Tom,
Splendid examples...all the way around! Thanks for sharing them.
Warren: Those RMKs "PROVES" it really pays to attend The Gator Cutlery Club Show!!
Good job everybody,
Capt. Chris

Agreed Cap. It was a good plan well executed.

As for re-handles

Triathletes are probably as close to a "Kit" blade right now out of the shop. There's been lots of transformations with scales and some have conventional stag. Here's one done by BMK that turned out great. The sub-hilt is actually quite a comfortable hold.

Warren, that's a great looking knife. What materials were used?
