I am looking into having a Manix 2 made smaller.
Here are some examples of what I am talking about:

I have neither the tools nor the experience to feel comfortable attempting something like this on my own.
I would like to keep the lanyard coupling and drill and tap the liners to accept a Dragonfly 2 wire clip.
Full extent of the mods would be:
-Shortening/reshaping the blade.
-Reshaping the liners (also flushing the liner jimping that remains) and scales.
-Drilling the liners and scales for the lanyard hole coupling.
-Drilling and tapping the liners for the clip mount screw.
-Machining trenches on the scales for the Dragonfly wire clip to nest in.
Let me know what you think. Also, would it a saber ground or full flat ground blade work better on a project like this?
Thanks
