Day 9 Gene Baskett 1911 Knife
Gene is the President of the Knife Makers Guild; and makes great knives. Although not the first custom maker to make a knife using 1911 Pistol grips for a handle he is one of the pioneers of this genre. I have two of his 1911 Stock Knives; one with Pachmeyr Grips (marked #5) and this one, the best use of VZ Stocks in my Opinion. Gene attaches the scales with Torx screws; the screw heads where you'd normally attached them to the pistol are decorative only.
