I just picked up a Bravo necker with Ghost Jade G-10 scales and wasn't real impressed initially. I was so used to flawless Izulas. :thumbup: I sanded some on the G-10 scales, rear tang, and blade coating imperfection near the tip and it's growing on me. Much more comfortable now.

Anyways, the Jade G-10 got me thinking it would be cool if it glowed so......
I found some of my wife's glow in the dark fabric paint, removed the scales and filled the hollow area full of paint. Slapped it back together, "charged" a few minutes on each side with my little Maratac AAA flashlight and this sucker glows nicely. I wonder what a day in the sun hiking would do and how long it would glow.

Next up is a decent kydex sheath for it. The supplied one is pretty poor IMO. I know why they did what they did but it's just not working for me.

WHOAAAA!!

If I saw that bouncing through the woods at night, I'd RUN.

What a totally cool modification. I like it.:thumbup::thumbup:
 
pretty darn cool man... how much room is inside the handle? looks like you could probably fit one of those glow in the dark keychain sticks/tubes inside...

The space is only about 1" long, and 3/8" wide. I'm not sure how big the glow keychain sticks are.

I'm liking it more and more. After some sanding to get rid of the sharp edges on the scales it's comfortable for harder use. I wish the blade was about 1/4" longer. Other than that, it's heavier than a wrapped Izula but I guess that's the price you pay for handle scales. The full convex grind slices like a champ!

If I can ever get caught up and if I can decide on a color. At this point I think I may just have to go with black. The stock one is driving me crazy though. I'll probably like the knife even better when the new sheath is done.
