Very Sharp Gun!

I love those little Kershaw knives too. I've got 2 of them and they are the handiest knife I've ever owned.

how did you get the other grips off?

Well.......

I had to make little "channels" in the rubber with a small rat-tale file.

Then I wedged some needle-nose pliers into the channels I made and wallowed them out further. Then I pressed the pliers hard enough into 'em so I could get a grip on the washer.

Once I got a good grip (10 tries?!?!), I was able to turn the screw loose from the other side.

I really wish I'd had a 3rd hand!

And other than needing a new washer, the other grips are still quite serviceable, too. A little chewed up at the opening, but not too bad. That rubber is, of course, pretty pliable.

Wood always looks better than rubber grips.
Those are very nice grips!

Thanks, folks!

They're certainly more comfortable, too! Just too bad that I can't afford to shoot it!
