The blade is well made. I have used mine to skin deer, pigs and cattle it holds a good edge easy to resharpen, Mine's a user knife.
The temper is what they say it is , hard and 3/4 down the tang, so drilling any additional holes isn't going to happen without a carbide bit or retempering.but there's no need as you can put scales on it as it is.
I have a # 53 coming, i expect it to be as good.
