I've changed nearly everything on it, the blade has less belly and recurve, the liners are a bit narrower and rounded at the pivot area
Also I've made some blackwood carbon fiber scales and clip for it. The clip has a 3/16" steel ball with a glowing ring on top, the carbon fiber backspacer is free floating and glowing on the inside
The backspacer needs a hole to hold the lanyard with a gitd bead. Maybe I'll also put a drop of gitd epoxy on the backside of the thumb stud
I'm glad for every comment as long as it's constructive
First standard cf clip and full backspacer
Sanded down "free floating" backspacer filled up with glowing epoxy
New blackwood cf clip
And some mediocre night shots ;)
Excellent job!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I wouldn't have altered the blade profile. That's was the selling point for me in this folder. :)
Thank you :)
DeleteAnd that's the good thing with a $12 knife.
If it doesn't work out, get another one.
Although I still have 2 SRM 710 blades laying around, maybe I should make fixed knives from them.
Wow...
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteIt's inspiring...I'm just starting to try some basic mods like dying scales and will do some acid etching soon :)
ReplyDeleteYes, etching is fun, too. I'll add some pictures of my tries with steel knife scales and a copper shopping cart key. Next step, an etched copper nameplate, I'm not sure if I'll upload pictures though ;)
DeleteSounds good, I look forward to seeing your etching work. Maybe you could add a Subscribe feature to the blog so we can get an email when you add new posts :)
DeleteAhm, if I find out how to do that...
DeleteThere should be shopping links, too, I guess.
