Looks great Paul ! I left my screws unheated so they match all the other screws , but that is a matter of personal choice . For your first attempt it looks outstanding. MG2

Thanks Dan!

Swayback just got a lot better with the normal titanium clip.

The lanyard with a silver bead also gives it the best look in my opinion

Originally this is a DLT exclusive PM2 in M390 with red G10 scales. Swapped the scales for Flytanium Lotus Ti ones, customs Ti backspacer and heat ano'd deepcarry pocketclip.

Kinda hard to see in pictures, but I had John at BGM thin out a Siren for me. He did real nice work and fast to boot. Bye-bye makers marks — it’s a slicing machine now.

New micarta scales from RGT for the Kapara and LynchNW wireclip replacements.

Very comfortable and more grip in the hand.

Now to get my greasy hands on that micarta so it darkens!

Micarta scales from AWT.



The lanyard tube press from Sharp Dressed Knives worked well to pop out the tubes.



Natural canvas for a CS wharnie


OD green linen for the Smurf blue BBS M390


Fresh scales feel good! This blue PM2 was at one point my most used knife. It is hard to believe the first run was from 2011! The convex still performs well. She's ready for the next 13 years.

Like!

Para 3 in Maxamet.
Swapped to Cerberus green linen micarta "Diamond Plate" skinny scales, full titanium hardware kit, MXG titanium deep carry clip, RovyVon titanium lanyard bead with tritium vials, and last but not least.. the zip tie mod to make it auto deploy

Just Rit Dyed my Manix and heat anodized all the SS hardware to as close to bronze as I could. First time heat anodizing anything and just went for it. I think it came out ok.



For comparison to how the knife started out.

Looks great! So glad manix comes with torx instead of pinned. I Also have the white MNX2LW in Rex 45 but with black blade. Ordered AWT magpul dark earth aluminum scales, will post when they arrive.

Starting work on a Tenacious.
Guy wants a wizard theme so i decided to go with the Death Eaters "Dark Mark" symbol.
Just roughing it out now.

Added extra stand off and screws from a titanium pm2 hardware kit onto my manix 2 to stop the liners and scales from clicking and clacking and peeling apart due to the lanyard tube not fitting snug anymore, worked perfect just have to fine tune and debur from the countersinking.

15V Mule that I converted into a lightweight compression lock flipper. It has a liner less G10 handle construction, titanium lock bar with ceramic detent ball, phosphor bronze washers, steel pivot bushing, Cocobolo backspacer with press fit threaded connectors, and a titanium deep carry clip. The knife weighs just a hair under 80 grams, which is almost exactly what it originally weighed as a blade blank with no scales.

Just got my AWT scales for my Native 5 Salt. Had them installed within 20 minutes of taking them out of my mailbox. Super easy. Absolutely love the way they look and feel. This has always been one of my favorites, but now it's at a whole new level.

Military. the blade was treated with black-wash because it was covered in scratches.Imprisoned by Venev daimonds
