Welcome, Knives-tools! Looks great - is that G10? How did you do that?

- best wishes, Jazz.

Thanks for fixing the links! It's the stock scales just hydrographic dip in burl wood.

[Donut]

That's a sweet looking scale material. Can we get a spine view of the file work?

[phillipsted]

I've been wondering about that hydrographic printing stuff for a while. Is it durable?

My brother used it to camo-print his hunting rig, and he seemed happy with it. Not sure about its long-term durability, though...

Looks great, K-T!

The durability depends on what you are doing to it. It holds up great for in and out of the pocket edc stuff. It's not scratch resistant to a screw driver or other hard metals but it doesn't scratch when hit with things like a finger nail or soft items like wood and what not.

I can't get a good pic of the spin work but I will try

Ti liners, brown canvas micarta scales, a dozen extra screws. :)

I've had my Junior for a little while and seeing pictures of others, I decided to make it a clip point. Just takes time and patience. I like it a little better for my uses.

Great job JLS!!
I'm dying to get my hands on the junior, but I don't think I could risk trying to do that, but u did an awesome job on that.
It looks sweet w/ a clip point, does it have better penetration now??

[SpydieFreak1998]

Is there a microbevel?

CPMD2 Military with digital camo handles and an edge bevel around 6 degrees per side I think. Also built up a patina over the time it's been EDC'd.

[Jazz]

Stew, that Pride is really cool. I like that color. Nice job.

- best wishes, Jazz.

JLS - Awesome Job. I would buy a Junior right now if they came that way. Would love to see how the spine came out, it looks really clean! Can you elaborate on how you did it?

[SteelyDan]

JLS, GREAT JOB ! You changed the Jr. from a knife I had no interest in to a "Gotta Have".

[JLS]

Thanks guys, but you need to see what Dialex did with his design. I just performed the same mod that he showed a months back. http://www.spyderco.com/forums/showthre ... post715164

The spine still needs a bit of cleanup, so I won't show pictures yet. This was just done on a belt sander with a pan of cold water nearby; just be sure to keep it cool. I'd considered making a more drastic angle, but I wanted to keep Dialex's mark on the back side of the blade. This may get a regrind for a thinner edge, so if the mark is ground off, I'll likely make a slightly more acute tip.

The knife as it comes is fantastic, but I've never been a big fan of drop points for what I generally do. I like a finer tip that takes more care in use. The knife is great for it's intended purpose of being great for a younger audience. Since I'm in my 30's, 6'2" and 250 lbs, I decided to customize it a bit for me. :)

Stew, this is gorgeous. I'm a big fan of micarta and I love the way that the pivot and backspacer hardware is all hidden. Very classy!

[Orion's Belt]

Can you spot the mod?

[sharpguitarist]

Hey ryan,
The clip is naked!
Later,
Don

[Orion's Belt]

That was an old mod I had tried, that's why there's a bit of paint still on there. But, that's not the big mod. I swapped a hollow ground Manix blade into the handle from a BD30P sprint.

[Donut]

Nice scale swap. :)

[gull wing]

Para Military 1. Reshaped handle. Tip up clip placement. Loose the lanyard tube. Canvas micarta filler.

[w3tnz]

Wow nice job, thats cool, like the mini para 2 everyone's been asking for lol.

[Holland]
