Can one of yall post up a pic of the Scrapper 5
without the handle? An x-ray pic would be fine.
Ive got a rampless, round choiled,S-5 kinda itching
to be modded a little more..
Thanks Guys..!!!

no S5 without a handle, I do have one of a regulator without a handle

Wow.. Didnt realize that about the Regulator still workable though.
Ive got some lime green UHMW i may use for a handle if i can get
the right kind of Epoxy.
Seems like i seen an x-ray of a S-5 on here at one time or another.
Thanks JROD..

It's not an S5, but the Technical Specs page contains a picture of a traditional handle cut away:

Look Martha,it's a nekid regulator! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Ill take the handle off tomorrow and take some pics..
Ill try to use some of that HIGH vis UHMW/Orlon/ whatever
it is for a handle.

Here you go:

I had already done a fair amount of grinding and modifying on my S5CG prior to thinking about taking process pics. I actually had been trying to do the S5 modifications without removing the handle and decided to go ahead and remove the handle so I could get better results around the ricasso. The ramp had already been rough ground off and the choil has been rough ground at this point. But, the tang was never modified. I did re-grind the ricasso after removing the handle to smooth that area. I left most of the coating on the tang when I re-attached the handle.






This might be the X-Ray pic you were referring to:

Since the Res-C Mudder Handles are standardized, I would be pretty confident that all mudder handled tangs look like above.

Similarly, since the small Res-C handles are standardized, I would be confident all tangs to fit the small Res-C handles would be the same. Notice the slight curve in the small Res-C handle tangs vs. the straight tangs on the mudders.

The above cut-away picture posted by Jim is of a Large Res-C handled tang. They should all be the same as well. Like the smaller Res-C handles, also curved, just bigger and beefier to handle more torque and stress of larger knives. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

.

Now we just need Dan to cook up a batch of mudders in everyone's favorite color (ORANGE) and sell to us so we can pop them on our knives..

Nearly right mate- every handle shape in orange!! Less scary for sheeple and less tactical (mall ninja) for us civvie types.

Holy cow! That's a Frickin' Xray! I never would have thought of that! That's really cool
