Hi Everyone,
I have a small regular Sebenza that has been my EDC since Christmas. I love this knife, and the fit and finish is fantastic. However I find that my palms do get irritated by the handle after awhile.
I have absolutely no problems modifying tools that I own to suit me. Ive looked at all sorts of mods and I think that a meltdown is the way to go. Id love to try this myself both because I dont want to ship the knife to the USA for any work, plus I think the satisfaction factor would be much higher. I have access to files, a drum sander, and a sandblaster that is normally used to remove rust from old cars (just borrowed from a friend for my own car havent used it yet).
Now the Question:
Who here has down their own melt on a Sebenza?
Any tips?
Any warnings?
How do you protect the lockbar?
How do you melt the clip?
Do you melt the inside of the scales as well, or just the outside??
Thanks for all your patience for a long post.
Look forward to your ideas. Also, any pics would be greatly appreciated.
