un-Official Modded Kershaw/ZT Thread (Scales, Regrinds, Frankensteins, Dye-Jobs, etc)

It was something an amazingly good friend did for me... He is an artist to say the least.. One day maybe I'll get even luckier and have a scale to match for my 0560..I still can't believe how perfect he got it.
 
A Speedform that I modified by drilling and tapping for a Scallion clip.

The owner had broken the original clip, and after contacting Kershaw and being told there are no parts for this very limited production knife, the owner told me to come up with a clip idea.

This has been working out well for over 6 months now.

Awhile back, Brad Southard had his hands all over this Ti/SG2 JYDII. He added IKBS to the pivot, acid washed the Ti scales, added a Carbon Fiber backspacer, added a Carbon Fiber front scale, and gave the blade a hand satin finish. Before all that work was done I had sent the knife to STR for a lowrider clip to be added in the tip up position. I love it.

I really want to get one of those Kryptoglow scales for my 0560 but I don't think he ships to Canada...
 
I would love to get one of those krypton low scales for my ZT 0560! They look so freaking cool!

i don't see why he wouldn't, although he would probably have to charge more for shipping. can't hurt to ask, all he can say is no. let me know if you need his contact info and i will send it your way. :)

Please do! I really want one in orange
 
My 0560 will be here tomorrow thanks to KershawGuy! I'm goin' for full pimpage! I've already started on a .45acp lock bar stabilizer thanks to hatchetjack. I'll pick up my glow scale (natural green, brightest available) when I meet Dan next week!:D Thanks Solid! It's all your fault!!

I will never tire from seeing your orange knives :)....they truly are a sight to behold. You need to stop buying other knives and stick with orange, since I'm broke I can only live vicariously and I'm pretty sure so do a lot of others :D....You got a reputation to maintain bud...after all your user id is solidorange :D
 
Man those hinderer collab's from ZT have wicked awesome texturing on the scales! 56x + 55x! 56x has a DGG strider-esque texture that is more subdued and comfortable [which I prefer so it doesn't rip everything], and that frag pattern !
 
Beautiful stuff & great pics, guys! Rocled, please tell me who did that blue/ silver twill carbon fiber! That might be the most beautiful handle scale I have ever seen, I am seriously in love! Digging all the orange as well, and Tony, those Krein regrinds are seriously sick! I thought I heard he stopped doing regrinds a few years back? If so, how do you have a Krein grind on an 0560?!?! Maybe I heard wrong? Anyways, I absolutely love this thread, one day I will have something to add to it, I hope!
 
^ He is doing regrinds again... One day I'll have the $$ to get one done..

Here is my ZT0560 with Marbled Glow scale

Tom Krein does the regrinds off and on. Someone had told me he was doing them again so I contacted him and I was in luck. A few weeks later someone I know tried to contact him and Tom said that he wasn't taking on anymore regrinds because he was inundated with work requests. If you can get on his list when it is open it is so worth it. The man does a sick regrind. The 0551 and the 0561 are friggin laser blades now.
