Straight Spine Cara Cara 2[mod]

Thought it would look better without the hump near the tip. It turned out most of the spine needed retouched to make it straight.

What do you think about SS on my Cruwear Manix? I like the way your tiger stripe one looks but I might go a little more over the spydiehole than yours.

This looks great! Looks factory and could use more pics. For science.

Thanks! It's not quite to the quality of a Spyderco just yet. It still has a 40 grit finish that needs to be taken to at least 220 grit. It's hard to show how straight it is but it's very close.

Nice job, looks 100% better now. IMO, a hump (or a dent) never improved the look of anything.

Thanks! I can't agree with you more on the hump!

Nice work! I wish the mainline Delicas and Enduras still came like this. I understand why we can't have nice things, but I still want them. :-)
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

Looks great! I picked up an FRN Cara Cara recently, amazing how awesome that knife is for the price! While I like FRN, I think the G10 versions really are one of the best deals out there!
