Here's a spyderco delica that I dressed up a little. I had used it for a beater and EDC for about 2 years and it was in bad shape.
I flat ground the blade which was hollow ground and getting very thick at the edge and re did all the serrations with a diamond file.
The handle was zytel, I made a new one with 410 stainless liners,bolivian rosewood scales and an aluminum back spacer. The spyderco pocket clip didn't fit so I put one on from koval.
There's a lot of things with it that I screwed up and had to redo, or just had to put up with the results, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out overall. I can't believe how well it cuts with the new grind I put on it.
Thanks for answering all my questions.
