Picked up a resilience a few days ago. I have been in a terrible mood recently because i caught walking pneumonia so besides going to work i have been just taking it easy at home. I was so bored i was no longer entertained watching tv flicking this knife around. and i always liked the jimping on the manix 2. so i made my way to the garage and grabbed my files. it was my 1st attempt to ever "MOD" a knife. it kept me busy for a few hours i eventually gave up after my finger started hurting from the pressure lol.

i filed out jimping in the liners and g10 scales. i also stone washed all the metal on the knife.

how did i do for 1st ill attempt. (ill literally too haha)

Looks great, good job buddy!

looks like it should have came that way to begin with! nice man.

Not bad at all for a first attemp! My first attempt at jimping ended up looking like serrations...

[jwblack911]

if i didnt stone wash the liners you would certainly be able to see the slips i had. i have been coughing my head off and every time i would slip out of the slot and scratch the liner lol.

i threw a fresh edge on it too, now i just need to figure out how to make this detent a little less serious. its almost impossible to flick out with a finger on the non locking side of the blade. im about to sand the detent ball a little

Really nice changes! Spyderco should add your mods.

Nice job! Definitely made it yours....

I dig it. you should go for the gusto and make your own scales for it start to finish. I started doing that about a year ago, its great fun!

also stuff like this should be in the "maintenance, tinkering, and embellishing" section I believe

thats awesome dude. that jimping is really great. I would love to do something like that to mine.

here's the mod that I did on my resilience I actually reshaped the blade.
