Those scales are nice Rick!
Thank you! Someday I'm going to have one in tool steel with burlap micarta too, someday... lol

Had Spyderco shipped the Smock wearing similar scales, I would have purchased one despite my dislike of the blade notch. Thankfully for my wallet, they shipped it with their standard Amish suit.

Yours looks fantastic and I love seeing it in your photos.

Thank you! The blade notch isn't so bad once you get used to it, I don't think I'd be willing to give up the button lock to get rid of it.

Another cold day wading the trout stream but I had a great time.

Here’s one of my modded Smocks. It’s an s30v blade with jade g10 scales off of my m4 Smock that have been dyed with Rit DyeMore Sapphire Blue. I also chopped the blade and handle, and made the blade notch into a usable finger choil. I also added Skiff bearings, heat colored the hardware to bronze, and added a bronze anodized titanium clip that I made.

I’m planning to do a similar thing with my m4 Smock but with some burgundy micarta scales. I’ll share that one here too when it’s done :)

Wow! This looks great, Casper! Would you care to share a little info on how you fabricated the larger finger choil?
