Gotta say that looks amazing...seriously good work. I like all the attention to detail that you have done, getting that spine and spring to be such a good match all the way down and the work on the G10 is excellent.

Once I get a Pingo I would love to have someone do that to it for me. Though...not in orange, just not a fan of that colour. Though with the stonewash it looks pretty good.

Congrats on improving the knife so much.

I saw this on BF and was just waiting for it to make its way over here. Great work! That's a classy looking blade.

That is very impressive work! I hope Pingo sales warrant a high-line version, and this should be it!

Pimped or not, the Pingo is a very nice EDC! :)

Thanks for all the kind words, I do not want this to be a spam thread. I just really wanted to share, from one knife Knut to another.

I do this knife work on the side and would love to do another one or ten, but this is not the space to "spam." Sal and crew feel like family and I don't want to mess in their house. I'm very easy to find :)

Thanks! I agree, Spyderco should be selling Pingos out like crazy it's a homerun! :D

Nice job on the Pingo. I'm really impressed with your work.

This has convinced me to order two Pingos instead of one, as I need to try my hand at pimping.

Nice work! I especially like the scales and the rounded spine/lock.

The rounded spine was a nice touch. I think a contrasting finish of filework would be great too. I would love to see the natural G-11 or even a beautiful piece of wood. I may even try it myself.

Surprised that the blade wasn't reground to a pointy tip.

Great job, you've turned it into a very different knife.
