Default went and and done it...

picked up this nice little gerber knife for utility purposes, i have to open boxes, and cut a decent amount of plastic installing tracking systems, so i got this inexpensive knife, has a great feel to it, i am going to take the grips off and see if there is an open space in the tang, if there is i am going to para-cord wrap it instead of the rubber....

I'd stick with the grip it's got. The tang doesn't look like it's got the best shape for a wrap.

yeah you are probably right, when it comes to anything i can't leave it alone...

especially cars, trucks, and guns... i have to make more power, or do something to claim it as my own...

It has a nice grip profile. Maybe add some nice wood in place of the rubber scales?

just put a nice edge on it with my wusthoff sharpener, i havent had a chance to work on it yet to see if it can be cord wrapped or not...

i'll update and post a pic or two when i do...

overall it has a good balance, and a nice weight to it.
