Modding a Pacific Salt 2

#1

Post by SpydieFlicker »

Are there any mods I can do to a Pac salt 2 lc200n? I really like the knife, and want to make it my own.

That's a very vague question. Options are endless for modification. What exactly are you looking to accomplish? Looks? Function? Performance? Etc, etc.

I waved one of my h1 PS1s. Agree with VashHash though, what is the end goal?

Sure, do whatever you please with it and let us know how you like it. I ground the spine down to replicate the pointy tip of the endura 3 and it’s phenomenal. Goes through blister packs like butter now. Best mod you can do IMO.

You can dye the scales. Its cheap, easy, fun, makes the knife your own, and sometimes looks pretty good.

I would start with this.

Dye the handle, you could stonewash the blade but I've never tried it with LC, I have done an acid etch stonewash on H1 so it would probably work if you used ferric chloride. You can change the blade shape, some guys like to regrind the spine straight so it has a sharper tip. You can grind and reshape the FRN, I would need to smooth out the finger grooves to carry one. There's always lanyards. Beyond that you're pretty much stuck with the handle itself unless you or someone else can make custom G10 handles, it's not impossible but you won't find any "off the shelf" scales that are a direct swap.

Thanks everyone. Sorry for the vague question, I was looking for mods that would alter the look/ feel of the knife. I am already planning to thin out the edge, but i'm not planning to mess with the spine.
