I've never posted it, but I have a 30 year old Sebenza in BG42 that I had the handle machined in two places to hold hex bits in one place and torx bits in another, with the spine square cut for just what you describe...
Cool [bleep]!! That's a pretty cool mod right there.

You have any pics of that Sebbie with the machined handle for bits? That's interesting. On another note, I'm sure you know who Scott Cook is from the early CRK years. I had one of his custom Owyhee Hunters in BG-42 that was one of the first custom knives I owned. That knife really caused me to dive into the custom knife field headfirst way back in the day. Not sure what happened to Mr. Cook, he had talent as a knifemaker. I remember you posting about that Owyhee, but didn't realize it was BG-42. I've had 4, 2 each in S30V and S90V. Still have one. Scott is still around. Demand for his Lochsa got so crazy years back that he was able to switch to a no-order scenario where he makes the ones he wants to make and sells them by auction on his site. $3,000+ is pretty common pricing. I have 2 plain ones that were around Sebenza price way back in the day that are worth easily 4-5 times what I gave for them. Good on him - really magic spot for a knifemaker to be in. That Sebenza is at our Idaho home. I'll be headed that way once I get a call that the bears are out and about. Will snap a pic then. My last Owyhee: ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/ubb/download/Number/95856/filename/Owyhee.jpg)
You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...

Cool [bleep]!! That's a pretty cool mod right there. Thanks. It came about because I never much liked the fixture hole in the show side scale on the Sebenza. Was always looking for something to stick in there, and a machinist friend said, "Hey, you know what would be cool....?"
