Very well done Parhelion! Do you mind sharing where you got the custom scales from?
It is a handmade custom done by knife customizer from Ukraine. The base was lightweight model. Overall idea is mine.

Parhelion, thanks for sharing the link. I watched the video of the manix light weight being converted with the titanium. It was interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Nice blade Parhelion. I'm in the market for a Seagull guitar, heard nothing but great stuff about them. Your thoughts pros and cons appreciated.

You are welcome. Also guy who did it sent me email today and propose to make titanium detail of the lock instead of standard plastic one. For free. Such an awesome person.

Well I'm not that experienced in many guitar models but seems like Seagull is one of the optimal choices. Very good sound for reasonable money. I was looking for Seagull Mini Jumbo Rustic, but suddenly stumbled on Seagull Dreadnought SWS Maritime with Godin electronics barely used and for very good price. Which is an instrument of a bit higher class because of solid wood construction, finish and electronics. I like the shape of Mini Jumbo better but whatever i'm pretty happy with my dreadnought.
pros:
+ good sustain
+ made in Canada
+ solid wood construction (Seagull also have cheaper laminated models)
+ low price for what you get
+ slightly wider neck than average (good for me)
+ good built in tuner
+ came with nice case (I think all Seagull's came with one but i'm not sure)
cons:
- not found yet (probably my Seagull is better instrument than me an musician, so i can't found problems)

Picked me up a Dragonfly 2 yesterday.
I gotta say, having been so smitten with my first Spyderco, a PM2, I am very surprised how much I am digging the smaller offerings. I love my Delica 4! This little DF is super cool in my book.

Found this one on eBay in Japan.
Only sold in Japan C120 Mariner plain edge.
Seller had it listed as a Spyderco Yachtman, not sure if that was what it was called in Japan.
:) Can some one translate that is on the box for me please?
Sorry I didn't catch this when you posted it -- you've probably already got it translated by now. Anyway, it's an attempt to render the name phonetically by using their katakana syllabary, which they use to approximate the sound of foreign words:
su pa i da ru ko (Spyderco) ma ri na so ru (Mariner)
yo tsu to ma n (yachtman)
Disclaimer: I don't speak or read Japanese -- I'm just interested in their different writing systems, their origins, etc.

Doing work! Well done! I have a goal this month to trim the collection by 3/4. I'll be going from 45-50 down to 10 is my goal.

My latest purchase but unfortenately not mine! But I'm happy anyway since my fiancee wanted a knife for her birthday.
Chaparral
I struggled to chose a good one to fit her smaller hand. This one is perfect! She's very happy with it.

This is a great choice and a great representative of the Taichung factory IMO. I was late getting one but couldn't have been more pleased with it when I did -- maybe the smoothest operating knife I've seen.

My most recent purchase :) This knife has completely kicked everything out of my pocket since its arrival a couple months back. What is so amazing about this knife? Seriously guys, I'm mystified by it lol! It's just awesome.
I have no idea if the picture is loading, but in case it isn't, it's the ZDP-189 British Racing Green Stretch.
