Here we have two customised Martindales that I rehandled in Bog Oak. One is the Paratrooper model and the other is the Golok. Green self-made micarta liners have been utilised between the Bog Oak and tang.
Leather sheaths compliment the look with a fold over flap held by a chicago screw.
Its quite satisfying to put a new handle on Martindales – the originals have lots of gaps as the desire of manufacture is obviously to keep costs low rather than put out a quality product. Hopefully now they’re a tool that is now desirable!
