I ended up putting a set of micarta scales on mine and really made it pop, love the way the Nilakka fills the hand.

Those scales look sweet! Can you tell me where I can find some?

I got these from Cuscadi, they're out of Germany, took about a month after ordering, very reasonable pricing too.

cut myself again since I last posted here... "new Spydie in the mail, new cut in the flesh" seems the rule

Good to see you getting in on some HAP40 Talon, we need to change the name of this thread to "What knife did Talon52 get today" :D

Thanks!! I just started collecting Spyderco knives last August, so I have some catching up to do!

This showed up in the mailbox today... I couldn't wait to add some mods.

That looks great Talon, just ribbing you too I actually look forward to seeing what new pieces you've grabbed. I did the same thing when I started, there's just so many great pieces that are must haves and some what easy to grab now, beware of the even earlier pieces that are hard to find, things start getting real spendy when you start venturing back further. :D

Thanks, and Thanks for all the input! Prior to collecting spidies, I collected rifles, and pistols for forty plus years, a man can only own so many guns, so I'm having a lot of fun with collecting knives.
