Yeah, I remember him from that year at Uncle E's and yakking with him a bit. Great guy, probably a better one than most of us considering his volunteer work in the Philippines after the disaster there.
I'm going to strip one of my BK5 knives and send it off to a buddy that is a maker and ask him to look at the simplest mod he can think of to build from the BK5 using it as a "blank".
I suspect pinned bolster on the front, clip the butt to shorten and pin slabs on the butt, and then Corby bolt scales in place is the lowest effort approach.
That will be very pretty. I loved my 5 when I had it. However there was a maker out in Oklahoma who I was desperate to get one of his blades. So I sold him my five for a GOOD price, along with a discount on when he starts making knives again
