My wife is a dentist. Often times when I'd visit her at her office I'd get a good whiff of burning tooth. That's another smell that really doesn't sit well with me.

Nice job!
When they come out with the non-busse street scrappers, I might modify one of those the same way.

I agree with gravelface, it is cool to see people modify their blades. and, of course, post nice pics for us to drool over.

Most of my own mods involve polishing/removing various finishes.
I do have a couple of wooden handled knives that I plan on reshaping.

rooikat,
Do you have any stripped Infi knives that you EDC?
I am on the fence about whether or not to strip the coating on my SS4.

No. The only infi I have is my AK (tan, of course), and my black skeleton key.
I plan on spraying the key tan at some point, but not stripping it.
The best job I have done so far was on a Cold steel Recon Scout. I have also added a better polish to several titanium knives I do EDC, as most makers don't spend a lot of time polishing their ti.
I think the ss4 would look good with a satin finish, however, after seeing my brother's, I like the polished spine look a lot.

Well, you’d certainly be able to pick it out of a pile now. * Res-C & fire..
Err.. i'll talk about That one another day.. I couldn’t find it, but a long time ago someone posted a pic at SR of a CT or BR that they had the handle on fire. I think they coated it with alcohol or something and lit it. It appeared fine though. Res-c is tough stuff. Is this the pic? I've posted this one before, but the picture belongs to Cliff Stamp. From some of his testing. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> ![[Linked Image from images.complete180.com]](http://images.complete180.com/flamingrat.jpg)

FWIW, I once threw River 8's Howling Rat at a tree. It bounced back and landed right in our campfire -- spraying coal and ash everywhere. I immediately went to action and fell to the ground laughing. The others, only slightly less amused, began to dig the HR out of the fire with sticks. The Resiprene showed very little effect after being in the fire for easily 20 full seconds. A few of the cuts and marrs in the handle did seal up quite nicely. The only real burn marks where found on the knife's lanyard. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Tough stuff! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
