I've got some Carters with the black riveted handles that have been on my list of knives to pretty up with a new handle.

I seem to recall seeing some that Butch did for Stefan, but can't find the pics now. Has anyone else had theirs rehandled?

The simple way would be to add a spacer the length of the handle similar to the way Carter does his newer Wa handles, but i'd prefer the look of keeping the handle from a single piece of wood.

Pictures or ideally an old WIP thread would be great to see, before i take the plunge and do it myself or send to it someone......

Cheers,
Tom
 
Dave M did this one for me on a two rivet handle.

Before: Nice knife, but fugly handle.

There is something about the 2 rivet design - I think tang is short - that drives the hidden tang rehandle.
