Probably not to the taste of the "traditional" crowd but oh well, here we go:
Please be nice as this is only my second attempt at modding.
All work was done with a dremel, file, sanding sponge and no plan.
Started working on it last night after the wife and kids went to sleep. It was done by the time they woke up

Some tasteful mods on that Opinel. I especially like the spearpoint mod.

I have been building some lockbacks from a pile of Schrade parts I bought. The top one is a 7OT blade and frame I scaled with some gorgeous padauk wood. I love the vibrant color on this one.
The bottom is a 6OT frame with a 7OT blade, which I scaled in some olive wood harvested from my own trees. I finished it in some tung oil finish, which really made the grain pop. I also serrated half the blade so I can use it hard in the yard.
I really love building/modding knives from these US made parts.

Wow, there are some great examples of people doing fabulous work on this thread! I stand in awe of you all! :thumbup:
My own "mod" is certainly modest in comparison - I think tweaking a blade is fairly easy. I like having a sheepsfoot/wharncliffe/coping blade on my knife in addition to a clip blade. I also like having both nail nicks on the mark side of a knife. Anyway, a while back I got this GEC #76 with the intention of converting the pen blade to a coping blade and I finally got around to doing it yesterday.
Here's the before and after pics:

Thank's for the kind words, Jeff & Paul!
I just spent 2 1/2 hours going through this entire thread and what a pleasure it was! I'm blown away by the work done by our members, and as I said before I stand in awe!
Paul, that was nice work on the Bullet End Jack making the EO notch and coping blade mod - it turned out great! :thumbup:
Jeff, you had a few posts upthread too, and I salute you also for the great mods! Waaaay back on page 21, post #420 you had some pics of a mod you did on a #73 Scout Trapper, but the pics aren't showing up anymore. Any chance you could re-post those pics?
