So I have an Emerson CQC-7 coming in and I want to customize it a little bit. Looking at some pictures of some 7's with polished hardware it really got me interested in doing the same. I know Nathawut has a really sweet pivot he makes so I'm trying to contact him on getting one of those. But for the body screws I was thinking switching them out for some satin finished flat torx screws. Can anyone point me in the right direction on what exact size I need and possibly where to get them.
I hand sanded mine. But then I got a drill! Just put the screw in a drill, turn on and put against sand paper. Then scotch brite if you want to mirror it.
Sound simple enough, Thanks!! Also was thinking of pimping a pocket clip like the one Steel Flame makes. I saw you posted a pic of a Journey man where you did the same. Just would need to get an Emerson bead and some how cut it in half so I could mount it on a clip. Any suggestions?
you can get the 3/8" 2-56 T8 torx screws from usaknifemaker in gold, gunmetal, black or stainless finish.

That's not going to work as a replacement pivot on any Emerson as it is. On Emersons the female portion of the pivot has a " flat " milled into it to keep it from spinning when you are tightening the pivot.
Got a hold of Nat. Gonna dress it up with a bull pivot and Ti clip Thinking of ideas for some pimp work to send his way also. Possibly something like an HD-7 look alike.
Here's mine. Since this pic, I replaced the screws with countersunk flat heads and put a titanium thum disc on it. Polished everything else to remove the black finish. My custom scales. [/IMG] [/IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG]
How much grit on the sand paper? Did you cover the threads on the screw before putting it on the drill?
