Nothing fancy but I made a deep pocket clip from a sawzall blade and used gun blue to coat it. Then I bead blasted the blade. This is one of my favorites.

Lol you might not think it's great but this is honestly the first time I've seen a waved spydie that looked halfway decent. I dont get why they do the wave that way. IMHO spyderco's wave looks terrible (except the p'kal).

I actually think the opposite, I find the waves on Spyercos to be very attractive and do not care for the way the waves look on the Emerson wave knifes. Interesting to see other peoples viewpoints.
 
This is an internal mod. I took the self close mech. out of the Szabo and added a detent hole.







Aforementioned Manix 2 when it was mine.


 
How is the action on the Szabo with the detent hole?
 

Access to the liner lock and Spydie hole on this Gayle Bradley was added by Tom Krein. All GB's should come this way.

Well, I somehow screwed up the placement of the hole by a hair so there was a bit of detent play in the closed position but it functioned just like any other manual knife other than that. It was very smooth.

Cool. I don't really mind the spring pull since the wave draw is enough to pop it.
