I'm thinking of throwing on a different set of scales as well, but we'll see how it goes. The blade, by the way, is by Grand Leavitt of Snakeriver Knives; he emailed me to say it's on the way :)
Nice!

I like the drop point. Do you have a driver for the pins or do you just use a punch? I have a Puma with a bad blade and bought a one to replace it but haven't gotten the nerve to start beating the pins out. Being Puma guy I shouldn't say this, but I use a Buck 110 for deer hunting. I'd like to see some pictures when you're finished.

Pretty stuff - I'm gettin' excited to put this together

Andy, it appears the pivot washer is imbeded in the blade. Is it just an optical illusion?

Just imagine that blade and 1911 hand-grips!
