Striderized Persistence!
Finally got to work on my persistence to join the rest of my value folder wood scale family. Went with a nice piece of Texas yellowheart wood, but decided to take some inspiration from my all time favorite production knife, the Buck Strider, and give it more of a gunstock butt end and straight top line.
Almost done except for applyings some coats of Tru-Oil and polishing.

Its the hat we make them wear. Though it makes them look the part it really fills up the field of view from the back seat... I know. When my driver wont budge, I hit him with the Grey Poupon and that usually gets him to sit lower in the seat. Hope the tip helps you too. lolWMR wrote:You know, I don't remember. I think mine is Amboyna but it might be the Burr Walnut. My driver sort of blocks my view from the back seat.
...I have no knives I keep in a safe but there are one or two that don't leave the house...

Re: Show Your Wood Scale Mods!
I liked the look and feel a lot, but the action and stability were not good enough,
maybe also because of the crack through the pivot, hrhr... so i had to make a new
set of scale from a more solid material (polished g-10). now its absolutely one
of my favourite edc folders.

Re: Show Your Wood Scale Mods!
I've got a few Spydies with wooden handles, but don't have too many pictures of them...
I do have some older pictures of my Manix 2 XL indoors and outdoors in the sun, so I'll share them in the meantime :)

Re: Show Your Wood Scale Mods!
Being relatively new to the world of Spyderco, I had no idea of the wood scales. Now I'd love to have an Endura and Delica in wood!

Re: Show Your Wood Scale Mods!
I love your knives! Wood scales and Spyderco's go together so well.
