Alright guys, this is my first real post on the BladeForums. Sorry if I'm doing something wrong or in the wrong section.
Here is my Boker Nano, that over about a year has gone through many changes but I'm really starting to like the way she's lookin. I started by making a camo g10 scale, similar to the paramilitary style scales. Then an earth brown anzo patterned scale followed by a black g10 with no pattern and polished. I really liked that look, it looked very classy. I decided to make this knife look as classy and as "gentleman folder" as I could. I figured nothing was more classy than a white folder, and it's something different. I did white g10, with very contoured edges, no pattern, and a pretty good polish. Scales were passed up to 2k grit and stropped. Then all body screws, pillars and clip were mirror finished. I left the factory bead blast on the frame, it ties into the polished parts nicely. Then I stripped all logos off blade and mirror finished the flats of the knife. Pics really don't do this knife justice, it really is a great looking knife. I have only been knife pimping for a little under a year, so I still have a lot to learn, but it has been a fun experience. I know it really isn't much special, and some of y'all on here do amazing work, but I love the way this one came out. And there is nothing more satisfying than pulling out your knife and someone giving you a compliment knowing you did all the work.
There is a possibility I might do carbon fiber scales this summer. Also a PB washer conversion soon. Let me know what y'all think of the knife, thanks!
p.s. - sorry for how the knife is a little dirty in the pictures. I carry this knife almost daily as a secondary
