Pm2 chop w/ custom scales

[DigDug72]

Ryan Milligan of Knockwood Blades was kind enough to collaborate w/ me on this knife. I chopped down a PM2 into a mini w/ modified sheepsfoot blade profile, roughly the size of a Para3 but w/ a little less handle. Milligan made the canvas micarta scales, which fit to a tee, and really enhance the feel in hand.

Neat little guy!

Your work always looks clean! Thanks for sharing.

Looks very comfortable, a lot of rounding and dig the scales.

[Stony]

That looks amazing, very well done!

[DigDug72]

Thanks for the kind words you guys, much appreciated!

Another awesome job!

Do you keep most of these? I'd love to see a pic of you chopped collection :)

That's really cool. How did you work the scales around the liners? I would do this but cutting into the factory liners and scales that car will look like crap along the edges.

Looks great, would love to get something like that done to one of my pm2s

That can be arranged - just PM me.

Thanks Abba, I do. I'll post some pics soon and send you a link man.

Thanks Evil! Milligan worked some magic in that respect, and crafted the scales with a continuation of the 'bumper' that the original scales use to keep the liners in place and recessed from the edge.

Thanks for posting. I've only looked at the Spyderos, as I have to leave for work soon. That is some awesome work!

[Jazz]

Very nice, as usual. My favorite is the Mantra 2. :cool:

[Spydersense]

You do amazing work Dig Dug!

[abbazaba]

Excellent collection! Thanks for sharing!

[StuntZombie]

Those are some great mods. I actually completely missed the fact the Mantra 2's clip was gone. It really looked like a factory job.

Hey, aren't you the guy who was posting pics of their Pilar on reddit? The internet really is a small place...
I had to do something similar to this to an Endura when my dad broke a half inch off the tip.
BTW, that chopped cf Yojimbo is beautiful!

[DigDug72]

Thanks for the encouragement you guys, it means a lot!

Guilty! Yep, it's a small world out here! Same scale maker (Milligan of Knockwood) too...
