Hi guys, I wanna share my mods on a Mora 137 laminated. I've a lot of knives and bushcraft tools but this is the one i use the most !
The handle modifications are based on this great video:

I made four ridges with a small saw and I finished it with a caving knife. three sections painted with brown acrylic color and all treated with "paglierino" oil (a red wood oil common here in Italy) and then with linseed oil. I put also a lanyard in one of the ridges, it works great for putting it out of the sheath.
The sheath was treated in hot wax that made it very snug and stiff.
I've also forced a patina on the blade and collar with white vinegar.
I really like the result, I think it looks really great plus is way more functional ! Hope you like it too
