I've had this S5LE since they came out. It begged me to knock a few corners off. So, here are the results:

Looks sooo good!!

I think you brought a great knife to its full potential, way to go.

Looking good, nothing like modifying it to make it your own.

I don't mind the thumb ramp and square choil, but I have been thinking about taken the saber grind higher for better cutting.

yeah, me too, but I hate to get rid of the logo.

that's exactly what's stopping me, i'd hate to lose half the logo. i like the thickness of the blade, but it isn't cutting as good as it should be. even with the thinner convex edge, the angle of the bevel from the saber grind makes it act thicker then it is. I didn't feel like fully stripping it and convexing, just a higher saber grind with some coating on it, like this DMCG Ban did.



I haven't posted pictures yet, but I fully satin and convexed my Waki and SOD. I did that same grind on that DMCG on my SOD, but just decided to fully convex it. I was very happy with how straight I got the saber grind though, so the S5 blade should be simple in comparison to the SOD.

I really like the rounded full finger choil. Looks good!

Sweet mod and beautifully done.

I dig it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
