Everyone's latest acquisitions!

Mickey Yurko x 5x5 reground Endura to the Jan-cliffe profile with the 5x5 PickPocket wave tool on it! Thought this was awesome. Michael Janich also does personal regrinds of Enduras on there called Janduras, Jandelicas and short Yojimbos with regular handles called Chicagojimbos, but they're all meant to be Chicago legal, and no wave, and a serious folder like that needs a wave... which is why I also bought one of these contraptions for my Yojumbo! And PM2! Just to try it. Love the knife, though. Also it has a "recluse", a backspacer/deep carry clip. Very very cool.

Reg. Endura and Yojumbo for reference and my new Z-cut which kind of has a similar profile! Love the Z cut, gf loves it, had to get another.

Same, it seems like I only like certain kinds/models, but the list grows.
First, I just liked the PM2.
Then, the Yojumbo, and all wharncliffe Spydies.
Then I got a thing for reverse-S.
Now Enduras. And small carries like the Sage and Chaparral.

Guess we all have our "addict brand".
 
I don't have pictures yet, but I spent most of the day with a Camillus Grand Canyon, that someone painted black and white, including the blade. Plus the blade had a couple of good sized nicks in it. I used Goof Off on the blade and the paint was easy to remove. The more I used it on the handle the darker and richer the colors became. That's when it dawned on me that they painted the handle white. That was the easy part, the finger guard chrome was also peeling so I sanded it. Guess what? That finger guard is plastic! Anyway I painted it with high heat exhaust manifold aluminum paint. And drum roll please.........It looks like crap! So I may redo it in black. The knife however is a very solid user and takes a good edge.
 
I also had a customized Gerber Sedulo land... I built this one on their website. They let you pick out any blade coating, scale color, and your choice of black or bright hardware.
So far: it's an enigma. The action is nowhere as smooth as a Benchmade. I hope it smooths out over time .
I think the scales are injection molded plastic. They offer lots of traction; but just feel... kind od cheap!
But for the money: it might just be a winner.

Nice K390. In terms o' color, love anything blue or purple adjacent that comes out of Spyderco, I like that purple Cruwear. Gonna post up my pics of my recently waved or "PickPocketed" PM2 and Yojumbo soon! Also have retention rings for one of my PM2s, a RAT 1, Matriarch 2 (on a DLC blade with the red scales from the Endura trainer? That'll look BAD!) on the way, see how I like those, I think I will on anything waved, just pull up on the ring like a lanyard.

Hoping both the hole size and all the internals are exactly the same on the Delica as the Lil Matriarch, as I wanna give it a Fang and a retention ring.

The Yojumbo is PERFECTED with the wave. Holy moly. I didn't know how the comp lock would do with the wave, thought it would need the stiffness of the backlock to work effectively, nope! At least so far in my sweartpants testing, and everything waves easiest in those.

Yep, it ain't the right color. I had to pay a ton for the proper blue/purple scales, anodized Ti, and it STILL isn't purple enough for me. Ha. I don't know what my thing is with burgundy or purple lately.
