I put my rat 1 on a diet. I think it will be sheding a little more soon.

Scallops perhaps? She flies out & free drops w/o a hint of blade play.

First regrinds not done freehand. Still need to dial it in a bit but was able to just barely eliminate the hollow grind from these Sharpfingers without taking off too much steel. the last inch or so of blade has just slight bit of flex.

Blades are done at about 2.8° per side. A little unintended contact on the ricasso and the base of the first one is a slight bit thick (can see the secondary grind flare a bit), but all in all am pretty happy about it. Second one turned out dead-on.

These are the kid's camping/GP knives, I wanted to get rid of the dead spot just above the ricasso on the original grind and got a serious bug to undertake this.

Looks nice and slicey now, good job!

Here's some of my recent tinkering...

Basketweave on an Al Mar Eagle


Ivory inlays on a Microtech Scarab

The stonewashed handles on this Kershaw Lucha were too slick for me so I gave it a beadblast for grip and then two-toned...flips SO much better now. Doesn't even feel too heavy now that I'm not worried about it flying out of my hand.

I wanted a straight edged blade. I used a ruler and marker to take off as little steel as possible.

I started using sandpaper and a notebook to convex it and the pointy tip went away leaving THIS pointy tip.

Sharpest knife I own.

Here's a few things done in the past. Spyder GB2 Access Mod. Opened up the full Spydie Hole, also giving much more access to the lock bar. Making it both easy opening and easy closing.

Spyder Positron, opened up lock access a bit.

Have done a crap ton of basic anodizing.

Couple more access mods.

A few VERY amateur scales.

And a bit-o-leatherwork.

Inexpensive Portugese MAM Bowie with Inox blade, reshaped tip and guard. An inexpensive, light weight, thin bladed, picnic type knife.

Ah, sorry, I looked right past the last pic. The awl was just a $3 cheapie from Amazon, Ali, or bangood. I don't recall. Picked it up a few years ago. The wooden dowel is an edge slicker from Tandy Leather.

Though it looks cool, the scales are crap. They do not fit correctly, but I'll probably sand them to fit. It's not terrible, still usable. Should have bought better scales. I cheaper out and the old scales got trashed.

Are those 3d printed or what?

I don't know, they were cheap on Amazon.

Slicey Sunday. Sleep time, put these scales and black screws on yesterday. Scales from RGT.

I think this Old Hickory boning knife, after shortening the blade and epoxying on walnut scales with copper pins, will make a great EDC trail knife
