Took a little work, but nothing you couldn't do with ordinary hand
tools and emery cloth.
It certainly looks better than the original. I can see why the wood scales
attracted you. OTOH, what is the blade made of?
I used to carry larger knives, but have lately found that a 3+ in. blade does everything I need with less bulk and
weight. My daily carry for the last few months has been a CRKT Delegate EDC with 3 1/8" 8Cr14MoV blade.

I was going back and forth with it and a Kershaw 1530, with 3" 8Cr13MoV blade.

Both take a razor edge and hold it really well, which is important to me for an every day carry knife. I don't want to
have to baby it or spend time maintaining it. I had trouble at first with the opening lock on the CRKT, but my thumb
learned it. I don't think the assisted opening adds anything.
The CRKT has won out mostly because I like using the modified Wharncliffe blade shape better than the clip point of the
Kershaw, and I think it's prettier. :-)
