A Gerber Facelift
I was bored between knife builds while one was gone to HT so I tore apart a Gerber that I never liked and gave it a facelift. I used some scrap mahogany flooring for handle scales w/black spacer material. I also took a hand file and scalloped the spine for grip. Other stuff: I removed the black factory paint from the blade and buffed, rounded the front bolsters, removed the belt clip, and lowered the side profile + handle width little. I have two of these so it's like before & after pics.

Good job. It looks like you did a major overhaul on that frame.

Very nice! I carried that same gerber for several years. It was sized just right for fire department stuff.....
