These are the only two anodized knives that I own -- a Chaparral and McBee. I anodized them myself with help from a buddy who does anodizing. Was very cool to learn to do this.

Holy **** those look amazing

The "Stealth" Chaparral is one of my favorite knives of all time, but never cared for the monotone color. In person, the color is closer to champagne.

I took the original black G10 scales and the original clip off of my Para 3. Then, I installed a set of Flytanium titanium scales and a Lynch clip.

Did this the other day

Posted my SS Cara Cara 2 in the Byrd section but traffic is low there. This would be the same as a SS Endura.

Began life as a Bento Box Lil'Matriarch but became a PROMOD (profile modified) Mini Street Fighter 2 in jade G10 full contour scales with a fluted shell texture... jade G10 smooth flush back spacer. The d-bolts domes have been filed to a flatter convex profile and both the dbolts and Torx screws have been buffed to mirror finish.

Great work as always, boomer!

Question: could someone do a "skinny mod" Delica? Similar to the Shaman and Para 3 "skinny mods" ?

The only things I don't really love about the Delica are the points in the handle. From your pictures, it looks a lot like the liners don't actually have these points, but rather they're introduced by the scales.

You are correct in that the stainless liners do not have the grip projections found on the scales. It would be a simple matter to 'skinny' the Delica/Lil'Matriarch profile. Simple but time consuming to make the CAD and CAM file changes needed.

Is that a repair, or intentional? It looks awesome!

I didn't do the mods but I am a fan of the Knivesplus acidwash/bronzehardware treatment on my Amalgam and Smock.

I bevel ground the G10 scales to provide a better pinch grip on my Magnacut Mule.

Still need to find some better scales.

Manix 2 M390 with new flytanium ball lock and ceramic bearing. If you've been thinking about doing this, it's easy.

Looks good, nice work.

My PM2 (s110v) and Para 3 (Maxamet) mods
The flamed titanium on the Para 3 didn't show as much variety in color as I hoped for and the purple hardware doesn't pop as much as I thought either. Will be replacing the mx gear clip with a purple one from lynch clips that should work really well.
