Some Pimping on the Economist

I have always had a love for this folder ever since buying it but the one thing that I never was quite 100% crazy about is the Micarta scales. They feel great but they just look kind of plain next to the crazy rocklinized edge and awesome blue anodized finish (granted, the Micarta helps keep the cost of the knife down which is definitely a good thing). So, I decided to make a set of toxic green G10 scales to (hopefully) make it look even cooler. Personally, I love how it turned out. Part of me thinks I'm crazy for messing with a Snody folder but I got the knife to use, not as an investment piece. While I was working on the scales, I also polished the edges of the liners and sculpted the pivot screw a bit. I posted a pic of this blade before but never in this forum (where it belongs ). So, let me know if you guys like it or have any other feedback or questions. Thanks for checking it out.

That looks awesome. I have a thing for toxic green G10 though. Great work though.

Indeed brave to modify such a nice knife, but I completely agree with your reasons. Looks great

Looks great bro! Like how you sculpted the pivot to match the scale! Really nice!
