Hey, men.

Well, it's been a while since I posted. I've been a little busy with life, but I'm still into knives (as much as ever) especially my Scrapyard beauties. Here's a folder that I acquired a couple of years ago. I didn't like the feel of the G10 Strider PT so I removed the G10 scale and fabricated a titanium scale for replacement and made some 1/8" spacers to maintain scale separation. While that provide a much better feel and more solid lockup, that lasted for a couple of years until I had to tinker with it again; this time I wanted to add the dimpled finish (always was the plan but never got around to it). I set up my drill press and sliding cross vise to minimize play and maximize rigidity (in lieu of a proper mill and cutter <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ). It turned out pretty well imo. So, here's the result of my perpetual tinkering with an otherwise fine knife (Strider PT):
