sweet collection, care to list, if its too many thats fineNowhere near some other collections I've seen on here, but this is what I have for now.
nice, some leeks are liner locks, right? Anyway, those are some nice leeks.Yikes... I don't recall the model numbers, but here goes... the top row starts with olive drab and desert tan (Amazon exclusive?), C27 and CKT, Random Leek, red, white, and blue smokes, CB, and G10. Bottom is rainbow, pink, red, Mayan Calendar (from ebay), two damascus, Jeep, Flag, OC, and two Snap-Ons. I think the plain one was in my pocket when I took the photo

okay, those are stunning... Btw, how many modified knives do you have, my fave is definently the rival 0200 (i saved the pics, my friend keeps talkig about it)I don't have many Leeks, but I have a thing for modified ones.
Santa Fe Stoneworks abalone/mother of pearl handle, stainless framelock, damascus blade:
G10 scale, titanium lockside, acid dipped/stonewashed hardware, S30V blade:
Acid dipped/stonewashed handle and blade:
In this one a red smoke handle with composite blade and blue smoke handle with reverse tanto blade (along with my tan/black which has since gotten black hardware, beater G10/S30V, and a damascus that I've since sold):
Those sound beatiful, u seem to have athing for acid etchingI have an 0301 with a custom scale and bullet LBS, my 0560 just has a Hinderer clip and bullet LBS, olive and tan Blurs with tigerstriped blades, a silver twill Blur with S30V blade, a green/carbon fiber Blur with stonewashed CPM-154 blade, a Benchmade Onslaught with acid dipped/stonewashed blade with the harpoon tip removed, a Benchmade Gaucho with full carbon fiber handle, Benchmade SOCP that I turned into a single edged neck knife with micarta handle and no stupid ring, a Boker Burnley Kwaiken with the handle cut for a flipper, a Liontribe BullGod XT with an acid dipped finish, a Chris Reeve Umnumzaan with scotchbrited handle and heavily acid dipped/stonewashed blade, and a Hinderer that has a different scale, bronze standoffs, bullet LBS, and crusader clip. I have many more modified knives than I do original configuration
does that ever bring the life of the blade down, or as i think, does it just make it look rustic, and keep any scratches from looking bad like a DLC, allbeit a completely different method, but anyways, noice :thumbup:
Any estimates to the new scratches to your 0200I've never heard of acidwashing having an adverse effect on a blade. And yes, a nice acid/stonewash is my favorite finish
, and ya, ive always thought that acid washing looks amazing, btw what does damascus look like without the acid etching, does it just look normal? Also, i wonder what it would look like if you took a damascus blade, coated it, and than let it sit in a tumbler for a few days. Would it look to busy and chaotic, or dod i stumble on a cool sounding thought?
