I'm sure I'm not the first person to do this, but thought I would share. We all like knife pictures, right? The 511 handle was just a little crowded for me so I opened up the choil with a dremel sanding drum and then sharpened her up. Now I have a little more room to move around and choke up if desired. ![[Linked Image from i947.photobucket.com]](http://i947.photobucket.com/albums/ad312/DHOOKER2/287.jpg)

I gotta say.. a nice round choil do feel better. Nice mod Hooker.

Nice looking job you did there and it looks like it will make it easier to choke up on for sure.

Nice mod, and edge! Great work. What's that little black spot on the choil?

I think that is probably just a little "Bubble" where he didn't get it all sanded flat.

I was disappointed that the Ganza camo 511 didn't have the full choil. At least it got the full flat grind like the ganza camo Regulator.

You could always leave it, that way you would always know which one is yours!

I seem to modify most things to make them suit me. Just can't leave well enough alone. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Went to take out that small paint spot. Made it a little bigger. Should have made it bigger in the first place, but was impatient. ![[Linked Image from i947.photobucket.com]](http://i947.photobucket.com/albums/ad312/DHOOKER2/002-5.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i947.photobucket.com]](http://i947.photobucket.com/albums/ad312/DHOOKER2/004-2.jpg)
