Presenting the "Matriarch-ura," w/ blade & bits from a blacked-out Matriarch and the brown FRN handle from an Endura 4 FFG. (Handle was camo-died with dark green & black Rit dye.)

That's super cool :thumbup:

How did you achieve the camo dye job ?
Did you paint or splash the different coloured dye's on the handle ?

Thx! Splashing wouldn't do, you need to dip/soak in warm dye... The process was this: disassemble knife; apply crazy pattern with hot glue gun, and let cool a bit; dip/soak in 1st color; remove and a rinse in cold water, and pick off the glue; applying a new pattern with hot glue gun: dip in 2nd color, etc.

Thank you
In fact, all components are from HAP40 except for the two black FRN slabs. Just my preference, keeping all hardware the same.
Black doesn't show dirt & grime much

Sweet, just switching the slabs sounds much better, not quite sure what I was thinking exactly haha. Either way, me likes it!

Re-profiled the spine of my old workhorse Resilience .
The Resilience is one of the most underrated Spyderco's in my opinion .
I know its cheap and Chinese , but for a camp - outdoor- beater knife try finding a better option .

My Damascus Delica blade lived inside some G10 scales for a few weeks , this was a beautiful combo while it lasted .

I broke the tip off of a Matriarch a while ago and ground the tip to a functional shape.
Today I cut a wave/bottle opener.
Works great and with the mix of parts I'm thinking it's definitely a candidate for a Franken-Spydie.

^^^^ Liking this. Nice save out of a bad situation.

I'm surprised you don't see that swap more often across the line-up.











This one time, I tried to swap a lightsaber into a Delica.

And some Super Blue in a Stretch CF

I probably shouldn't look at this thread , because it's giving me ideas
There are some really cool " Franken Blades " being posted :thumbup:

Here is the next Franken from my selection , this is its first incarnation , it has since changed a little .

The Endura/Matriarch handle was just awkward in my hands so i flatted it out.
