New PICS Little mod on my Tenacious+Persistence

Nicely done, and thanks for posting the pic of the bit you used. Now I'm tempted to try this with one of my G10 Spydercos.
 
Thanx for posting thos pics, look awesome.
Great job, makes your Tenacious really unique!
I'd be afraid to mess it up on mine :|
 
Not trying to hijack your thread, but here's my Emerson with a Wasp & a passaround Sebenza:

I bought the CQC-10 a while back; the original owner had done a similar mod to the scales, like your Tenacious & Persistence. It's one of my all-time favorite mods. I planned to do this to all three of the Tenacious family when the Resilience is finally released.

There were a couple of minor "hotspots" on the Emerson, and I worked the scales over with (I think) 600 grit emery cloth, then rubbed them down with mineral oil. It has a great grip feel, and feels smooth as silk.

Almost - I wrapped emery cloth around a 5/16" dowel, so as not to work down the 'peaks' too much. The mineral oil is what worked best, though; it really evened out the tone of the G-10. (Edited to add: The former owner did the original work, I just cleaned up high points.)

Oops. That did it. You'll be dead & stankin' by mornin'. Can I have yer knives? :D

Actually, in all seriousness, you do need a mask or respirator, and maybe gloves, too. When I was working cabinetry years ago, we made jigs out of G-10 and Micarta. The MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) for both are pretty tame, but the dust of either one has nasty fiber particles in it. Rule of thumb in our finishing shack: IF YOU'RE SMELLING IT, YOU'RE BREATHING IT. NO AMOUNT OF PS [particulate solids] - NO MATTER HOW SMALL - IS SAFE.

It can also make you itch like a madman if you're prone to skin allergies.

Okay, I'm off my rocker . . . er, soapbox, now. :D

thx - cpr

That's pretty inspiring. I love to see mods that look like something I could do.

Excellent work.
