A few WIP shots from grinding in some serrations, etc. the other day...
Satin flats to 1200 grit
Serration pattern marked out as a rough guide
Ground in and all purty

Reground this scandi Enzo folder the other day, had a secondary and entire bevel looked terrible. Took it up through 400 grit and it's hair popping now!

Thanks man! Not a whole lot... getting caught up on mods and grind work so I will have time to work on these fixed blades and the kuros (liners should be coming in this week as well as the fixed blades and scales).Josh, what have you been up to lately? Wondering if your working on something better then the Microtech, those serrations were perfect!
Worked on this the other day... A benchmade aileron that I sterilized and removed the grip marks, modded the spine, ground in a swedge and stonewashed. Here's a factory image vs what I did
Didn't take pics of the other work... but I'm working a a SNG reblade today

Just finished up that reblade... now to blast and DLC
Here it is before the grind while I was drilling the detent hole and grinding the lock face
I always tap the end of the track to make sure I'm just a hair offset... have to take a zoomed in pic w/ my phone to even see it because it's so close to the human eye lol
And the end product... well, prior to DLC anyway

Here it is trying to fit as much blade in the frame as possible... actually ended up notching the g10 above the standoff there
And starting the nightmare grind w/ the hollow'd swedge

Just finished out a custom front flipper I started like a year ago lol
this absolutely the perfect size for a FF, you can flip it all sorts of ways and it is so smooth - even on washers.
