Boomer, that native looks pretty sweet. How many custom parts are required to make it happen?

A set of custom scales having the wire pocket clip modification. I was told the wire clip, barrel bolt and screw are available from W&R at Spyderco... that's second hand info though. I do not know that for certain.

The black G10 Native 5 was the prototype... these were just machined for a customer...

Looks great! Much better than my "melting" job :)

Hex honeycomb gray G10 Lil'Matriarch. New addition for me is the gimping. All my previous Spyderco scales lacked gimping but I've started to use smaller end mills that make it possible.

This is fascinating, I can't stop looking at all the eye candy! All you :spyder: DIYers are so talented! You all take such a risk :eek: , but what a reward!!! :D

So impressed! :cool:

Really nice and perfectly done work on the Native and the wire clip ! :)
Is that the small wire clip ? the Dragonfly one ?

Hello Miss Dragonfly ! I'm a Dragonfly addict ^^

I'm not certain just what size clip or which model... it was sent to me with the knife and I just performed the mod. Might you be able to tell the size if I attach a better photo of the knife/clip...? This is the same wire clip on the prototype machined set of scales.

Boomer, you are an artist and a craftsman..

Thanks for the compliment... BUT I'm more of a slightly loose nut behind the green START button on the CNC machine...

I'll continue with a crappy mobile phone pic... I promise, some day I'll take out my better camera, and shoot some better pics, and upload them and share.

some elbow grease and fine grit sandpaper, half way there (Street Beat FRN) :

Not my modifications but a couple of commissions...

[spyderg]

I decided the cracks in the wood scales I made were bugging me so I tried some homemade blue jean micarta. Since it's so light and smaller now I went clipless for now to see if I like carrying it in my back pocket. I still can't believe how much uneccesary material was on this thing!

This one was quite the project. I ordered the knife and before I received it my power supply quit working. :mad: Step one: Build a new power supply. :rolleyes:

Hello there... I am new here.

26° inclusive polished edge and a Casey Lynch clip, and got rid of the bump on the spine near the tip.

Another one... the original smurf blue was not for me, so I RIT dyed it, and added an MXG low ride Ti clip to this Bento Box CPM S90V Military. IMHO it looked like a toy before, now it looks more "serious". Previous to that, I did change the backspacer for standoffs.
