Filed Spydies?
Has anyone ever done any decorative filework to a Spyderco? Just curious. I tried a simple pattern on the lockbar of one of my delicas, just a notch on each side, it looks not bad. Wondering if anyone else has tried this?
The hardest part was putting the lockbar back in lol.

Re: Filed Spydies?
One of my Police's has some nice filework to it.
It has filework done on the spine to add some jimping and the round hole was chamfered:
Other than that the lockbar was given some jimping for added grip and a tactile feedback of where it is (since it doesn't have the Boye dent):
And the show side was filed which adds the perfect amount of traction and it simply looks nice:
If you like the filework being more decorative, the One Eyed Jack is right up your alley!
Other than that one, the damascus titanium/jigged bone Endura's and Delica's have some nice filework done on them as well:

**** those are nice!
the checkering alone on the police model is impressive and must have taken forever.

And yeah, checkering by hand is a good way to spend quite a lot of time! :p
Any pics of your Delica?

Re: Filed Spydies?
Do any of you have any tips you might like to share? Thought about trying file work on some mules once I became comfortable/brave enough.

The memory also has some filework on it.
I did some filework on some mules. Don’t have the photos here. Will try to post some later.
It’s hardened steel so diamond files will probably be necessary. That’s what I used. It goes slow. You can free hand it or plan ahead, make a template and sharpie the design on. Then just file off the sharpie.
