Thank you brotherSorry for your loss my brother! May the memories of all the joy he brought of the years brighten your day.
mans best friend no doubt. God Speed Hercules. Sorry for your loss.Sad day tomorrow. My malamute has a hyperthyroid that is cancerous. His rear legs are going out over the past day. Its time to send him to doggie heaven. We rescued him at 5 years old and came with the name Hercules. He will be 12 soon and that's a good lifespan for a large dog. Still very sad but the only humane thing to do. Tough on my gil right now. One of the kindest dogs I've ever had..View attachment 3197373

Looks good! I disassembled when adding scales to add ceramic ball and enlarge detent hole! Didn’t touch cutout as I’ve not had a problem with access, but did smooth out the lock bar ridges! Love this knife!
I had my lockbar modded for more access, love it now. The liner on the show side was brought back to be flush with the scale and chamfered inside, and I had the texture on the lockbar smoothed out and heavily chamfered. Polished to match the oem finish, looks like it could come from the factory

Replaced the ball with same size ceramic! Some of the Taichung Spyderco models have a lighter detent than I prefer! Because the ball sits proud of the hole, you can tune the detent strength, by enlarging the hole with tapered diamond bit! A little at a time and you can mod to your liking!very cool, did you put a larger ball in? or just enlarge the hole. thats interesting i would like to feel how different it is

Thanks. I have to give your method a try!Added to a hand driver! Modded detent easily on Smock, Domino, Caribbean, GB2, And Drunken! Amazing how much better the knives work! View attachment 3197606
