My G-10 Salsa (thanks, Brad!)

#1

Post by Jay_Ev »

I had an extra Salsa laying around, and there are plenty of aluminum ones, a fair amount of titanium ones, and now there is a G-10 one. Credit goes to forum member Tricod (Brad) for the mod.

Hey I have seen that before somewhere :D

Funny you post those today. I lost the memory card to my camera and so I have been unable to post the photos of your knife on my web album. Well I just found the card today while doing so cleaning. So how about some more photos folks. :) YAY these should be on my webpage now as well. Let me know if you guys cant see them.

Nice work, Brad! That is a great looking mod.

I don't often comment on modifications on knives, but I must say that was very well done.

A G-10 Salsa would have been a great knife.
