My Echelon

[Eastwood]

Here's my latest project. Acid & stone washed blade, dyed scales and I filled the thumb stud with glow powder and resin. Hope you like it.

Here's a pic so you can see the thumb stud glow.

I think it turned out pretty good.

I dig it. Very cool.

Love it! The acid washing looks great!

I wish I actually loved my Echelon
It's the only Kershaw I own that really disappointed me. I still havent taken the torsion bar out - maybe that will change my mind a bit.

I really like that tumbstud idea.

Something vaguely familiar with that knife! It looks great!

 

[Eastwood]

It looked a little different when you had it. Lol

Cool project. I like the way it came out and nice idea with the glow and thumbstud.

 

[KnottyEagle]

That's pretty cool! I'm lovin' it.

If you had gone with a brighter green on the grip, or left it as it was, it would almost look like a zombie blade...

Nice! The glow thumb stud is a great touch

 

[PURPLEDC]

very nice. Now go mirror polish that edge for some contrast!

Fantastic work! How did you go about dyeing the scales?

 

[Eastwood]

The edge will be back on it later today, I got side tracked on a Spyderco PPT project I've been wanting to do.

Gmrpnk21, I used Rit dye on the scales. When I do another one I'm going to do blue scales on it.

Is the dye rubbing off at all?
