Spyderco knife mods

I’ve been modding a bunch of my knives lately and thought I would create a thread for everyone to share their Spyderco mods. So let’s see them!

Today I did the dodo, pits and added a clip to my swayback. The day I got the swayback I acidwashed the screws so they weren’t shiny anymore.

A while back I skinnied my rex45 native along with some other tweaks.

Put a new clip on my mini Swayback. Was getting hotspots w/ the first clip (a modded Southard clip), so redrilled for an RGT milled one - hotspots gone, feels really good.

Those look great dig dug!

I dyed the scales this morning. I used black but no matter what I tried this was as dark as they would get. Not bad.

Those look awesome, IMO better than completely black would look... :D

I absolutely love the mini swayback look. I own a couple of traditional handmade swaybacks I bought in Sheffield and this size is more in line with those, which I really like. Nice work!

I seldom modify my knives as I am satisfied with how they function out of the box.

I did de-wave this Tropen as I never had a need for immediate deployment.

I got some too- all Para 3’s 😬

Wish there were more support for LW’s
(Specifically stretch 2’s and stretches 2’s xl)
If there are, cost kinda defeats the purpose, like those police 4 scales
