This was my dream EDC at the time. This was back before the Para 2 had been announced, and I carried smaller knives. Tip up wire clip Paramilitary.

Hey Vivi, how did you secure the screws under the millie clip? I've been pondering different ways to do it.

I also like the wire clip on the Paramilitary. Is that some kind or barrel nut with a flange made onto it under the wire clip?

g-10 instead of uglyfrn. clipless. user. dirty. :D

[Jazz]

Very nice, utor. What's the clear looking yellow in the handle?

[utor]

thanks jazz! its a piece of plexiglas rod to fix the lock-bar in the handle. the original scales have two molded stands on the inside, which are too difficult to reproduce in the flat slabs of g-10 that i had available. i also like the individual detail it adds to the plain black scales. polished g-10 is very nice material - would like spyderco to use in more in their regular production...

Here's my contribution for today. I think they both look great.

Jazz you seem to be a prolific modder. I can appreciate making things work better for you. I picked up a Positron recently and due to problems getting to the lock I took a dremel to the scale and opened it up a little. It’s much easier to depress the lock now, even though it doesn’t look dramatic.

The glossy scales on my Chaparral were getting fine scratches, so I sanded them with 2000 grit sandpaper. The scales are more of a satin feel now and scratches don’t show up as much. Touch-ups are easy. Also, I colored the outside of the liners black which makes the colors of the raffir noble stand out more. I wasn’t sure if I’d like the black under the scales so I experimented by using a black sharpie to fill them in. I like the look So need to figure out a permanent way to color them. Any suggestions?

My Breeden Rescue, worked over by DigDug! Great work, friend!
Feels fairly similar to the Shaman.

[Jazz]

Rhix, yes, I like to make it "suitable for me". Your Positron mod is exactly what I'd do. Nice job. Also like the Chap.

Speedholes, that Breeden actually looks useful now. Very cool.

I wasn't happy with the titanium one, so I had to buy a purple Delica. More switcherooing, and I'm happy with all three:







The black really suits the Damascus, the ti looks great with a spanking new shiny VG10 blade, and my favourite, the wharnie, is in a very pleasing, friendly EDC color.

Thank you Jazz. I like your purple Delica and the black with the Damascus looks like it was made for it. I’ve really been wanting a wharnie Delica. I’m a hands on type and discovered a long time ago to not be afraid to work on things. It blows my friends’ minds when I get a really nice guitar and immediately start working on it to suit me. That’s actually how I got the idea for the satin finish on the Chap. I prefer satin guitar necks over glossy and I’ve done the satin mod on guitars before.

I play guitar too, and they do feel better. Mine's a B.C. Rich from 1990. 80's metal head here. What about you?

Those old BC RICH guitars are awesome. The 2 I play most are a couple of PRS, a custom 24 and a McCarty. Played a Les Paul for a long time but my old broke down back can’t do that anymore. I grew up playing Zeppelin, Hendrix, Sabbath etc. AC/DC and Ozzy were the first 2 concerts I went to, so yeah I’m with you. I saw an old GnR video recently and slash was playing a red BC Rich instead of his ubiquitous Les Paul. Lita Ford was a big BC Rich player too wasn’t she?

That's weird with Slash. Yes, Lita played BC Rich. Keep on rockin'.

I eventually ground it deeper but this seems to be the only picture I have. I'd take a new photo but it's currently in Oregon with a friend, serving him well on his farm.
