Re: Stretch Picture Thread!

I just picked up a Stretch 2 as a partial trade even though the Stretch is not to my liking. I decided to modify it to something more aesthetic and utilitarian... strictly to satisfy my requirements. I've attached the CAD work and a couple of CAD renders to illustrate the skinny modification preform...

Re: Show your mods!

Can you tell us about the bigger, darker Spydie logo on the blade? The enlarged Spydie is the result of some testing of my new split fiber laser. I frequently offer for sell complete knives and was looking for an identifier that set my modified Spyderco knives apart from factory offerings. Once I m...

Re: Show your mods!

Looks like a Mickey Yurco regrind -- https://5x5combatsolutions.com/yurco-custom I checked out the link you posted and was surprised... the blade mods are virtually identical! It's one of those independent co-development occurances much like Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray with the telephone ...

Re: Show your mods!

I'm partial to Wharncliffe blades however Spyderco's Delica and Endela Wharncliffe blades are lacking the proper aesthetics in my opinion. I'm not equipped for metal work so I did some playing around in PhotoShop and arrived at something that I really like and want to pursue for a blade MOD... https...

Re: Show your mods!

Boomer, may I ask you if your scales for models like Delica and Endura, especially those Millie-style, alter the action at all? I'm presuming no, but just wondering. No alteration or change to the action as the scales are nothing more than clothing for the knife frame. Think of it in terms of the h...

Re: Show your mods!

I went back and tweaked my 3D model of my Endela/Military PROMOD and generated a new CAM file to increase the cross section contours and this is the first set of scales off the CNC using the tweaked machining file... Orange G10 with charcoal G10 back spacer. They came out superb...! https://i.imgur....

Re: Show your mods!

You are correct in that the stainless liners do not have the grip projections found on the scales. It would be a simple matter to 'skinny' the Delica/Lil'Matriarch profile. Simple but time consuming to make the CAD and CAM file changes needed.
