Here's a Sage CF that I re-profiled to more of a "Para-Milli" type blade as opposed to a "Leaf" profile.
I also totally re-vamped a Chokwe that I got a great deal on ... I shortened the handle and blade more to my liking .... some of the "tradionalist Spyderco ppl" might gasp in horror, but I really enjoy making my mods and have used both knives extensively since.
I also plan on putting a Spyderco pocket clip (a wire one like on my Sage) onto my new Schempp Damascus Delica and actually USING IT!
Let the gasps of horror begin! mu-ha-ha-ha-ha!! :eek: :) :D
Pictures to come!

Sage


Chokwe

You... Sicko!! :eek: I'm kidding - they look great, and I believe you're the first to mod a Sage. I like the shape you made. Thanks for sharing.

- best wishes, Jazz.

Wow that blade looks so much like my Para blade...they might be long lost twins.

I really like the spine profile on your Manix. Look just like the bird beak humps on Stretches, DP UKPK's, and the like. Nice work, thanks for sharing.

I don't know why I waited so long to add some mods here, so I'll play catch up.

A few of my re-scale projects:


An old Co-pilot with a busted tip that I rescued:

D3 tip mod on a Salt 1:


Halloween Raven:


More Wharbyrds:


Not a Spydie, but thought I'd throw in the Nessmuk mod I did on an Old Hickory skinner:

[araneae]

Everythings better with jimping, this is my most common mod:

[Jazz]

Nice stuff, araneae. I really like the wide spacing of the jimping you did - looks great! That wee Copilot is cute. Thanks for sharing, my fellow Wharnie fan. :cool:

- best wishes, Jazz.

I forgot to say, I reground an Old Hickory parer to FFG and I can't believe how great it works. That carbon steel has an awesome bite to it. I love it, and it sees a lot of use in the kitchen at work. Nice Nesmuk.

- best wishes, Jazz.

PPT is a great knife but I don´t like that clip shape, so after filing and sanding it is perfect for me :) . Also this flat spot what is under clip is hollowed and polished.

[Morris]

I really like the Cricket!

What's the model on the left? really cool looking too.


Wharbyrds:


Can you show some more pics of these? Really cool looking. I'm a total knife
noob, how do you re-grind the blades like that and preserve the heat treatment, etc.?

[SmoothOne25]

What's the model on the left?

spin, mod.
translucent g10 maybe?

[Morris]

i've seen that translucent g10 on a Spyderco Mule, and it looked really cool with a color
underneath it too.

I'm a sucker for that see through look on lots of stuff! :)

[Donut]

Translucent G-10 is usually called G-11. I don't know the history behind it.

[korbiaka]

I didn't do this one. Its a blue Delica ZDP-189 sprint run regrind with a custom clip. Super light and slices well.

[feed_the_animals]

Nice Delica, korbiaka. Very classy mod. Thanks for sharing. And thanks to everyone keeping this thread active, both regulars and new comers. This is my favorite thread on the forum.

[Evil D]

That has to be one of the thinnest FFG grinds i've seen.

[korbiaka]

That has to be one of the thinnest FFG grinds i've seen.

Yeah, its a thin one. Regind was done by Marcus Lin, flatgrinder on bladeforums. He did an fantastc job on this. Its going to be hard to see how thin it is due to my lighting, and cell phone camera. But you"ll get the idea.

[Evil D]

Geeeeeez...be careful with chipping on that super thin ZDP. I'd definitely reserve that one for delicate slicing. What degree are you sharpening it at?
