I've been intrigued ever since I became aware of the availability of Spyderco's Bug. I've accepted commissions to work on several SS police in the past and thought it might be fun to do something a bit smaller. So, I went ahead and ordered five when I purchased my Gayle Bradley about a month ago. They've been sitting on my work bench since I unpacked them.
Last week for a change of pace, I went ahead and scratched one up and it immediately made its way to the wife's keychain. That's ok, she's my greatest salesman. It's only fair she has a good example to show off. The second has been sent off to our daughter who lives back east and this is my third effort.
I have a friend who also scratches stuff up for a living and specializes in minature firearms as his canvas. Never realized how difficult it is to do it well. I do now. My initial thinking was that I could work up a few to sell off my display table at local gunshows. Well, it took about eight hours under magnification to complete this one and I can say now unequivocally that this idea isn't going to fly.
I apologize in advance for my poor photography skills. I'm used to a 35mm film SLR and am having the devil of a time adjusting to this digital stuff.
Hungry spydie!
Lucky Fly!
