Ganza Kill Devil with Koa handles!

Just finished this one up this afternoon. I thought it would be a really simple project but it turned out to be tough because the ganza version has a tapered handle area and I had to get the scales to fit properly. The hawk has a ghetto satin finish that looks similar to a competition finish. I used stabilized Koa, G Flex epoxy, and a single micarta pin. Im not 100% happy with how the handle turned out looks wise but I guess its ok. It IS super comfortable and beats the heck out of the cord wrap. I did some test chops and the woods absorbs shock much better than para cord.

How do you get pics to work on this forum??

change it to IMG from image

You gotta use the IMG code from photobucket. It is the bottom option when you have the mouse on the pic. Just click the IMG code and paste it in the post.

Pictures are working now! Thanks for the help guys!

Looks great!

Ain't nothing wrong with THAT hawk!

I really like the Nessy with KDSH combo is outstanding!

Looks excellent. Please post updates as the steel ages. I have a feeling that is going to pick up a great natural patina.

Very cool, I bet that is quite an improvement on the ganza KDSH that muck reminds me of an RMD handle.

Its a wicked slicer!

Wow that's awesome, great job buddy !

Who made the Nessie ?

I designed it, Jim Rosa ground it and I did the handle. Its in full hardness .150 thick M390. Its also hands down the best knife Ive ever used in terms of actually cutting ability and comfort. Jim absolutely nailed it out of the park and I had an all around awesome experience with him helping me bring this concept to life. He's a stand up dude and runs his business with integrity.

I'm having him make me a couple more. Maybe I can get a pass around going with one of them.

KalEl, just remember you will have to do the "Pass around" off the forum.
