Sanrenmu SRM LAND 9104 carbon fiber

So I decided to do a make-over on my front scale that I've made for my SRM 910+ some posts before.

I think the black scale fits better with the blackwashed framelock Sanbenza.

It's a tad heavier than the 910+ version but still instead of the vanilla 135g it's now 107g (910+ CF 96g)







just trying something new

Flame colored Boker Manaro Bullseye Grip

Seems like I forgot this one in the anodizing post. If you want to be strict it's not anodized but annealed or heat colorized with a blowtorch, so that's about that.
This one was made for a forum member in the US, sadly it was lost on the way. Lately a knife book that I've ordered to a friend's address in Florida was lost, too, tracking said delivered, but seems to someone else :(





 This is how the surface is looking after blowtorching the titanium scale



And if anybody wants to see how such a folder is looking disassembled, here you go

Anodized Titanium

Vespa Neon









The way I got it




First step of anodizing, sorry for the blurry pic

Colorful clip


Apocalyptic with thinned out leaf blade



...and added oping nicks





TiLock 

Made in China - same original as the "gold bar" but very well made nonetheless (and without false markings)




All you need to anodize titanium (for green you'd need 10 to 13 pieces of 9V batteries though)





I had to file in a step at the backside of the clip to prevent it slipping out of my pocket


So I've lost the clip on job while playing with the knife on job. Had to make another one. Next step, anodizing.
