Chop Shop Firesale, round 4!!!
For sale are modded knives, except the Mantra and Phat Phinger. Some have been more gently modified (such as the Native), and some have been drastically chopped (such as the Lum), so be sure to read the descriptions and look at the pics carefully, so that you know what you’re getting!
1) Spyderco Native 5 S90V w/ contoured scales (C- ) $105.SOLD. Album: https://imgur.com/a/rsNZL5m
***WARNING: This was an early chop experiment which wasn’t 100% successful – the scales are roughly finished, and are also now very thin, making the knife much slimmer than original (see pics). The butt end reveals the liners, and is imperfectly finished (see pics).

- Scales are the Forest Green G10, and have been contoured.
- The contouring has slimmed down the knife considerably
- Blade has been stropped but not sharpened, only used lightly.
- There are a few small scratches on the show side of the blade, and one small scratch on the clip side (see pics).
- Blade has been reshaped to a more traditional drop point by grinding off the ‘harpoon’ style thumb ramp.
- Finger choil added
- Handles have been streamlined (via grinder) to eliminate the finger ‘waves’, then stonewashed.
- Blade has been reprofiled to ~17 dps. There are a few tiny scratches on the lock side of the blade.
- Blade has patina, and has been reprofiled. I didn’t do a great job on the reprofile, and the lockside bevel is definitely a little taller than the showside. Only light use, no scratches.
- Handles show a lot of light scratches, but most just blend into the stonewash on the presentation side. Lockside has bigger scratches, plus some bigger worn areas where the clip rubs the handle. (see pics)
- Blade has been chopped down (shortened by ~.25”)and reshaped (see pics).
- (new blade length: 2.95”)
- Blade has factory edge, and has only been used lightly.
- Handles have been ground down to eliminate the original texturing, and stonewashed..

- Blade has been chopped down and reprofiled to a wharncliffe-hybrid.
- Blade has been stonewashed.
- (new blade length: 2.4”, new handle length: 3.6”)
- Handle has been chopped down, and scales sanded down to reveal the black G10. This has thinned down the handles considerably, and the G10 finish is not perfect (see pics).
- This started life as a Lum Chinese Folder Nishijin (sz med.), but will ship in a Large Pink Lum box.
- Blade is reprofiled to ~15 dps. Has been lightly used.
- 2.25” 1095 blade, OAL: 4.12”
- Handmade leather slip sheath included.
