Been playing with RIT dye getting rid of that yellow FRN

Started yellow. Ended up between these two, closer to the dark one depending on light.

What color dye did you mix to get that OD green color? Looks sick. I've got a yellow handled SpyderHawk coming

tdkfm · Oct 31, 2015

Just tan RIT. It's kind of a gold/tan/OD green color depending on the light now

All copper, steel and Ti PM2

Bronze Southard

Rustic Tenacious- walnut and acid wash blade

Lambourghini Mat' 2 Wave (Orange Endura handle swap)

Aero carbon Y02

Where dI'd you get those copper and bronze scales? I would buy a PM2 just to have something to put those amazing scales onto

I inceease the ease of opening the blade on all my Spydercos by grinding a grove where the thumb pulls the blade. Instead of a 90 degrees contact I have a sharper corner that catches my thumb with greater ease.

This is on my upgraded Nilakka

I do the opposite concerning the hole(s).
Even with a little brake of the angle. it still open fast. I did not notify any change at all.
Well, just one things change, it's a bit more confortable !
I used to do the same with the handles.

Much more important there.
It's a point Spyderco should improve.

^ Looks good! Is that Micarta, or another branded material like Terotuf or something?

Nasgul · Nov 21, 2015

It look like Micarta, but is it a black (used) one ?
Did you make them, if not who ?

Look nice !

Keyman · Nov 21, 2015

Thanks,
Yup, that's black canvas micarta.
Yup, I made them.

This came out really nice. This is the perfect EDC hawkbill in my opinion.

Been tiring of the blade shape on the Dice, so took off the hump w/ a dremel, file, and sandpaper. Also sanded thru the Cf to ditch that wretched pattern, and expose the g10 underneath. Sanded it down to 2000 grit and it's lookin and feelin real nice imo.

whoops, here's the image:
