Sebenza Spydie Hole Mod

[SpySmasher]

Like it. Sebenzas are not so precious that we shouldn't modify them.

I think the first one looks great. The second one not so much.

I would love to try this. The spydiehole is great but I hate the ugly blade shapes they seem to require.

This knife is proof that they don’t require an ugly blade shape. So are knives like the Southard. All they need is a cutout to give access to the hole.

Both are great designs on their own, but I'm not sure the cross-breeding adds much to either.

That thing looks a lot like a Smock.

Check out the new Spyderco Brouwer. It kind of feels to me like Taichung made a small Sebenza. Currently really enjoying mine as soon as I replaced the stock clip with a short Lynch clip.

I like it. Would be interesting to have a Sebenza with a spydiehole.

I really like the look. Never had much of a problem opening my Sebenzas but this could certainly be an improvement. Who does these mods?

One question, what tool would you use to cut a hole in a hardened knife blade?

Honestly that’s the biggest reason I don’t own as many spidies as I would, if the blades fit n the handles more like that I’d own a lot more

I need that hole in my life

Yeah alot of them have a needless hump that makes the knife very tall when closed.

One question, what tool would you use to cut a hole in a hardened knife blade?

Cobalt / Carbide , basically any drill bit that has a higher hardness than the steel you're drilling through.

I've had good luck with carbide masonry bits for drilling hardened S90V/20CV blades. Cobalt doesn't even scratch that stuff, though.

Maybe not needed closed but it’s nice in use. My hand constantly indexes off it while changing grips. The delica would not be a good knife without it IMO.

That’s the first sebenza I’ve liked. I might own one if they started making them like that.

Not a big fan of modified CRK.

 

[lzeplin]

How would you absorb the thumb stud hole into it? You couldn't just drill it out, you would have to get below it to start drilling. I would love to have that hole in my sebenza.

 

[Dangerously]

Sounds like someone who offered this as a customization service might make a few bucks.

I must be very lucky I've never had any CRK that was hard to open ... I guess the mod looks ok ... but I'll stick to the thumbstuds.
