Reshaped a Spyderco Manix

[John Frederick]

Two of my favorite knives are the Spyderco Manix and Chinook II. I love the Manix's blade shape and the Chinook II's grip shape. After studying the Manix I realized I could reshape the grip to closely match the Chinook II's shape. I broke out the Dremel and started grinding. I added the grooves to the G-10 at the same time. It's not the prettiest but it feels great in my hand.

I'll try to put my thoughts the best I know how -

THAT IS SO FRIGGIN' COOL!!!

That looks pretty sweet,

The chinooks up swept blade would look good in that handle as well.

Now that's a knife---handle!

Looks vastly more comfy! Good work!

Oh my plain old manix feels so lame now. Buying another spydie should make me feel better =P....

 

[John Frederick]

Thanks guys for compliments!

That looks really cool man and it takes alot of guts to mod a knife like that.

looks a lot like the scrapyard handles.

I really have been getting the itch to put some anso-esque grooves on my caly 3

John,
What attachment(s) did you use with the Dremel?

 

[panch0]

Great job!! Wish I had the guts to try something like that.

John,
What attachment(s) did you use with the Dremel?

I did the basic reshaping with the regular size sanding drum and I cut the grooves with the mini-sanding drum.

That looks great. Even better than the original shape, in my opinion.
