Spyderco Forums

I ordered the Spyderco scales and sheath for the HIC but wanted to do something a little different. So I added some dayglow G10 liners. I'm new to all this so I thought something relatively easy would be a good start. It went fairly well for not really having proper tools for working on stuff like ...

Worked up some canvas micarta 2 toned scales along with a batch of sheaths to carry a few of my Mules. Next up, another batch of 6 more sheaths in another color for some of my other Mules.

Love the grip pattern...most excellent! And welcome!!

Did you use a particular method to get that pattern?

This was a reptilian pattern. Created with a Dremel Sanding drum. First make horizontal lines going across. Then come back in at an angle and carve in the sides.

First blank that arrived was the Amboyna Burl. So that's where I started. That's really pretty, PH. Nice work. You talked about a couple things that made me think. One was available tools. When I was a little kid, I liked playing with my grandfather's machine tools. I didn't really want to work wit...

Thank you sir!

HIC Mule!

Handmade Bog Oak scales. Blue G10 liners. And custom scouring pad micarta inlays.

Look at that grain pop!

I combined 2 of my favorite things! Spyderco and Carhartt!

Custom scales. My-Carhartt-A made with layers of 40 year old Carhartt Brown Duck. Single layer of sherpa lining in epoxy! Custom kydex sheath with its own little Carhartt jacket.

I cut the blanks from the block of Burl. I don't really have the proper tools for knife making. I did all this with a miter sa...
