I have an old Swedish knife that I got from a surplus shop from around here(Philippines) which had a broken blade but was still serviceable.A few weeks ago, i received my order from Dryad ,aan Epic 15 ILF riser and a Helle Tollekniv blank.It first I thought of making a handle from one of my stack of Phil ironwood(kamagong)but I became lazy and looked at the old knife and decided to see if I can make it work.The handle had three small screws that held the brass"ends" in place a a large screw that surprisingly had locked the blade to the handle via small metal insert inside that tightened the handle to the blade.All i had to do was inlet the old handle to accept the new blade since the old one was very thin.

Looks great I think. I really like the old stuff.
nice job and good thinking.

CTT

I love it man.

Nice!

That riser is really radical- I like it!

Thanks guys!

I am really liking the riser Ray,it has a very slim grip,slimmer than my longbows(small of the grip).
