I've created another GrindMod Delica... I call this one the Verrazano.

The prototype scales have been machined... 1X1 checkerboard LVA carbon fiber with the same CF for the back spacer. The sculpted pocket clip is 2X2 twill LVA CF.

THAT IS AMAZING!! Nice work.

Military C36GPDBL - regrind + CF

Boomer52's Delica/Verrazano scales. I ground the tang just below the blade kick with a 1" drum sander to complete the 50/50 choil feel. The handle shape fits my hands much better without all the finger grooves (which were always a compromise for me with the Delica4)... It's actually similar to a chopped Police 4 now.

Finally got around to making a handle for my Swick. I’ll probably give it another good sanding and buff again but at least it’s together now. Can anyone guess what I made the handle with?

204p Ti CF tip up

M4 CF tip up

Are you the MTB mechanic or the racer?

Great knife too

Not a Spydie today, but I really like this mod. Opinel No. 10...

Tired of waiting for sprint run of blue Delica with plain black blade, so I had to mix it myself.

Nice color combo. I did it with my Salt 2 and a purple handle. It looks horrible.

Modded my Boker Anso Zero to a more sane looking (and useful) semi skinner blade shape. Sorry for the blurriness.

I did that to my opi n.8 too, but kept the nail nick and gave it a much more raw and careless "chop" to the blade, :p

Looks nice still. I had to really take a chunk out so I could open the blade.

Do it, bro. Just gently round those edges and cuts and that'll look great.

im gonna go over it one more time and refine it a little more. i think it will turn out really nice though

Very nice. Looks great and streamlined. IF it was mine, I'd round off the sharp edges of the scales a tad too. Just sayin', but if you happened to do that, do it under a trickle of running water so there's no crap going in your lungs. Thanks for sharing your work. :cool:

I think I'm going to pick up a sheet of micarta and try to make some scales. I've got some plans to acid/stone wash the blade eventually also
