"WOW that looks good...
Did you have to purchase longer bolts to add to the liners, or did you countersink the bolts? Or was it a kit?
Curious because I don't have a BK7, at least not yet. And seeing this handle mod makes…"

This video from Gough Custom Knives just floored me -- his shop is so clean, & his work so measured... This was 12 minutes of video worth watching, especially for those of us who have aspirations to make beautiful knives ourselves.
