Green River Hunter Mod

This is my first Green River Hunter modification. I really like the traditional blade pattern of this knife. The handle length is right at 4 inches as it comes. That is why I reshaped the handle and added a front choil. The handles are stabilized Maple Burl.

Axis Lock Tear Down

As is often the case, my curiosity got the better of me and I decided it was time to see exactly how the axis lock works. The Axis lock is currently my favorite folding knife lock. It is very easy to operate, offers a tight lockup, and is a lot of fun to open and close. I was surprised at the overall simplicity of the design. The only fidgety part about getting it all back together is the alignment of the blade stop pin in its nested frame holes while positioning the lock bar. In all it took me around 45 minutes to strip the knife, clean, and reassemble it. Anyone with a little mechanical inclination should have no trouble doing the same.
