Hey fellow knife nuts. Here's something I threw together for my brother in law/very amateur/beginners try at knife modding. I gifted him a Manbug g10 a few months ago after he showed me he was carrying a small, no name slipjoint that wouldn't fully close anymore, leaving about 1/4 of the end of the blade sticking out. I promptly told him I'd get him something better and that wouldn't likely stab him in the nuts (he likes just carrying a small knife loosely in his pocket). He's a more hands on IT/computer repair man and needles to say he uses his knife, so it has a acquired a chip and he stained the grey g10 quite a bit. Here's what I did mind you i still need to sharpen out that chip in the blade and that it all turned out darker than I had intended, the I meant to dye the g10 a more traditional red but left in too long and got a maroon color and did the same with the blade and got a deeper etch. I also etched the backspacer.
Thoughts and comments are appreciated! Even if I could have tried something else or done something different, constructive criticism. Next step is to start actually making custom scales!

well well, at least in a blade as small as a Manbug (or D'Fly in my case) Cheers!
