I have been in the process of culling the heard - keep knives I use and get rid of those that are just drawer queens. I came to the Dodo. I love it's ergos, used it, but couldn't really sharpen to my specs, and it did fall way back in rotation. The question came up: what do I do with it? Answer: turn it into MY knife. I am a wharncliffe freak (remember the spot/swick ). So, I swick-ed the Dodo. It's back at the front of the line. A razor in pocket, easy to sharpen and more versatile (for me). Here she be:
I fully dig it now. Best hour or so I've spent on a knife (along with Swick).
Yet again, another dodo mod. Brings smiles to my face. I am becoming a true fan of this wonderful knife, and soon enough i think ill just have to buy it in bulk. Great mod, and thanks for sharing.

It appears the Dodo is a great platform for mods. Looks like it is to be the "modular" knife Sal wanted in the Poliwog.
I kept the hook on mine for stripping wire and opening bubble packs.
That looks great! So does the reversed s! But great no less!

I like it but I love the Dodo as it is. I think this is exactly what I'd do to a Dodo if I ever broke the tip though. I would also (of course) get one if factory.

RLR Did you tanto and sharpen the nose of the dodo? What a great idea! I will have to get a dodo to fix like yours! I wish :spyder: would make a lower price point tanto in vg-10 so I could retire my voyager. Nice work RLR! :D
I ground the blade down the old school way, by hand. Diamond file, old oil stones I use for this type of work and then reprofiled the edge with a 220 water stone, polished with 1000 water stone and shined with 4000 water stone and strop.
The Tip is NOT sharpened - that would be dangerous in pocket :eek:
