Recommendation? Byrd Cara Cara 2 Blade Modification

[Puppadore]

Hello,

I want to try modifying a Byrd Cara Cara 2. I am getting the Cara Cara to have it with me while jogging, and I want to make it a bit lighter and smaller. I just have a Dremel to work with and I don't know much about knives. But I want to have some fun with it & mess around modifying it since it is fairly inexpensive.

Which blade design do you guys like the most?

Option 2 has a nice flow with the handle but the modded wavy opener is going to hang up on the pocket most likely.
It's a little too long?
Making it shorter is an option but then it may be too short for thumb opening.
There are plenty of waved options out there that work really well, but if you're set on tinkering around that's an inexpensive option.

There is a version with the Emerson wave now so my first suggestion is that. If you really just wanna grind tho go with the Kill Peter Pan! Not enough Cutlass inspired blades

whatever you do, make sure it can open beer bottles : )

I like option 3, though I think on all of them the wave could be shorter and still functional.

Go slow and don’t mess up the heat treat!

I say option 2, it looks good when retracted inside the handle.

Agreed, definitely find ways to keep the blade cool.
