Nice one Zeus. Here’s my version. I wanted to go realtively flat but leave a bit of curve to the spine. This was just a quick job to make the knife more useful to me. I’m going to clean the top line up as soon as I have access to some better tools.

Since I did the spine regrind, I use that Manix 2XL as my EDC. It replaced a PE Military model. Since I'm left handed, the lock on the Manix allows left-handed use, plus with the other lock mods I did to it, it now operates as a gravity blade with one hand- both open and closing. Just have to be careful who is watching you open it that way... I added a home made Signet ring last month. You can see the pics in my other posts.

Nice! I found the Manix a little too much of a pocket hog, as well.
