Pimped Persistence

[Bushbadger]

I've put this in the show your mods thread. But I think it's the best mod I've done yet so I'm showing off by giving it its own thread :D
Groovy green G10 with a G10 back spacer...

[FIMS]

How are you texturing the scales?

Mine are similar but not that regimented.

Dremel?

Yup, Dremel and a steady hand...

[SCALPHUNTER]

Nicely done...

[gull wing]

I love your mod. I love green. Very well done. You Do have steady hand, I can't do such things with a Dremel. I must use a small wheel attachment on my 2x72 belt grinder.

[prime77]

That looks great. Well done.

[Bushbadger]

Thanks for the compliments guys. The G10 was about three times the thickness of the original scales so the grooves could go pretty deep.
I do have a steady(ish) hand but it was close a couple of times. I was also covered in dust when finished (yes I wear a mask )

Thanks Don, I posted it in the show your mods thread first and gave you a name check there. I hadn't thought of doing a backspacer until I saw your Tenacious. This is my first Persistence and I actually prefer it to the Tenacious, I like the size better.

Nice work ! I'm new here at SF and here's my first attempt at scale a mod ..
I'm not new at being a knife junkie ,)

I used hand files and sandpaper with a bit of oil to blend the finish ..
More to come soon ..

BE WELL .. GH

[Bushbadger]

That looks excellent! I like the effect you've done, and welcome to the forums :)

Wow! These look amazing. Would you mind saying how much it costed you guys for all of this? I wouldn't mind having one myself!

[Bushbadger]

The G10 cost $7, the time I spent doing it, priceless... If you would like someting similar PM me.

[ace]

very sweet--well done--that looks like a $200 knife now.

[Seven]

Im in love with natural g10 and that ones hot :p Had to order me a Persistence cause of it, nice work Marcus.

[HotSoup]

Dude! That loos sooooooooo sweet.
Wow, very nice.

[BigBrad75]

Marcus definitely has some skillz. I just got a Custom Digi Camo Manix 2 in the mail today from his feebay store, and I LOVE it. It is SO much better than I imagined. He slimmed down the contour of the knife and all I can say is ****, the ergonomics of the manix were great before, but I can honestly say that I think he improved the overall feel/handle of the knife. I don't know whether to consider it a knife or a piece of beautiful art. Both!

Amazing knife !! Looks like a "glow in the dark" handle... :D
