I must admit I love this mod. One of the best looking mods that I've seen imho. It almost makes me want to buy a new 4 and mod my old one. That looks like a great user.
That knife turned out very well. I had an over abundance of 4’s at that time. The scales are linen micarta from masecraft. That knife is now with a friend in Honduras. It founds its jungle home.
I have a buddy who bought one. I handle it just about everytime we hang out. If I didn't love/use my standard 4 so much I'd buy one. I think ESEE really hit it out the park with the HM series. They're very comfy, affordable, and good looking IMO.
