Hey there, I recently came across this issue myself as well. Definitely a bit frustrating after you’ve opened the knife up! :)

The GB2 is really a fantastic Spyderco, one of the most undersung for sure. I know it’s not under appreciated, since folks that try one typically are blown away by it, so hopefully a lot more people will be able to experience that with this exclusive. I can think of at least two custom scale makers ...

Hi there littlespoon, sorry to read that your Chap has that gap. In looking at your pics, it does seem that the inner barrel that holds those 2 lockbar bolts might be a bit too long. I recommend taking one screw off, and then push the barrel and other screw out with a very thin Wiha bit and the lock...

Finished up this project with the help of a gently used CQI FRN Chap off eBay and another dose of minor frustrations. Those came from the fact that the screw holes weren’t quite cut wide enough to accept the larger ones, so I had to work those out a bit which ended resulting in the need to sand and ...

Nice to see this second run with the black liners! Broke down and ordered one, I have an unopened FDE Lynch clip that was just begging to be put on one of these bad boys. I personally am a huge fan of 204P PM2s, my favorite being the OG Knifeworks forest green version from a decade ago — back when S...

Hi folks, I have an update on my black linen scale set adventure. I received the scales last week and finally had time yesterday to work on them. They came nicely cut but gray and unfinished, they were downright furry in fact! I spent a good 3 hours sanding them down with 400 and 1000 grit wet/dry s...

Here are some fluted RGT black Ultem scales along with a DLC Lynch wire replacement clip on my DLC Cruwear Lil Native. The scales are very nicely finished, plus they’re super light! The pen is a short black Ultem Bolt pen from Tactile Turn, also super light and highly recommended! https://i.imgur.co...

I ordered a set of black linen Micarta scales (no inlay). Very excited to see them come in, I’ve been waiting for someone to offer these for years! I’ll post pics when I receive and install them.

I’ve always wished it came with a blue handle—I’d definitely buy a blue handled sprint. This 2016 Edge Matters forum exclusive in K390 did come with a blue handle, as well as a thumbstud you could install if you so desired (sacrilegious if you ask me!). I seem to recall that this was the first Spyd...

I only posted my pics just to show them off, not to restart a discussion on the possibility of a new version. The only “new” versions one can make these days is to mod one of the existing models, which are becoming super hard to find. Denmark changed their knife laws BTW a while back, the country no...

Tough to find threads dedicated to the Pingo these days! I figured this was a good one as any to post these pics of my current roundup. Thanks to fellow forumites Ted Phillips and Liquid Cobra for the rosewood and rock-patterned Ti scales, respectively. Cheers, Radioactive https://i.imgur.com/q0FbbC...

Not to derail the thread, but your tag line comment that the forum won’t allow usernames with the word “Spyder” in it must be a newer rule since I joined (admittedly way back when)…

I think you have all the Taichung comp lock models listed BTW. Cheers, Radioactive

Had to be done. G10 Manbug Leaf.

That's a looker!! Thank you! That one goes way back, the scales were made by the notorious Steve Ketchen - the best custom scale maker to ever fall from grace. Got this Lil’ bit of (Knife)Joy on me today, even managed to find a matching green G10 bead on Etsy. Cheers, Radioactive https://i.imgur.co...

This ol’ Chap…

As great as the new model may be, I’m very curious to see where Spyderco goes with regard to the (hopefully) eventual titanium version given the move over to the comp lock. I’m a huge fan of the Ti Millies and my rather large collection of Militaries dwindled down to 2 Franken versions based on the ...

Really enjoying mine!

I’d also like to really see more Golden-made Salt offerings in DLC. I find that holds up much better than TiCN, and I like several of the other models mentioned in this thread so far.
