That polished bevel looks gorgeous with the stone washed blade. Very nice work.

Prime77 - Nice work! How did you do only the scales on the stainless models that don't come apart?

- best wishes, Jazz.

I was wondering this also. Maybe some tape over the blade?

Makes me wish I had a SS scaled Spydie

I justd taped the blade up the best I could. It worked out good.

Nice work, Stony. That's a great looking knife and you take nice pictures.

My latest mods were to 9 or 10 knives. No pics, because all I did was sharpen the holes so they'd be easier to open. I really don't like when they're smooth. Maybe because my thumbs are fat. Now they work great, especially the Wegner and Native that have smaller holes.

- best wishes, Jazz.

Not exactly a mod but the black on this pocket clip was scraped off when I got it and needed to be finished, So for now it's OK and I'll more than likely have it Cerakoted Bright Orange later ,)

Been using my black UKPK a bit lately, and finally had enough of it being hard to open. I sharpened the hole and did the David Lowry cutout or bevel to make the hole easier to access. I still have to smooth it out a bit, but it works great. It should seriously be on the knives from the factory. I did it under running water to save my lungs...

Nice pics. I hope it works, too. I do it with rock sanding and there's no dust, so...? I heard someone mention it on the forum, but was still scared to try it. Well, I did it and hope I'm fine. :o

New Pride scales

#540

Post by RoBoTech »

I purchased a Pride 3 months ago. NIB. The seller threw in a set of scuptured blue G-10 scales for a pride.
I didn't want to touch my NIB, so I went looking for a used one in good shape to mount the scales on.
I finally, after 2 months, found a used Pride (the flag had a stain) for $30.00 shipped to me.
I now have $80.00 invested in the two Prides.
Here is the new one with the scales

Here is the used one with the scales mounted. Shown next to my dyed Urban Wharncliff.

What do you guys think?
