Where did you get the blade? Who did the mods?

Looks excellent and I like the blade hole on the other blades.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
 
Yup. Slap an oversized bearing pivot on there and do the blades in INFI. There's your Umdedum. Could even offer it the buyer's choice of several interchangable blade profiles.

No one would ever need to by another folder again, lol.

Oh well, a guy can dream.
 
Don't get me wrong, I still like the original blade but now I have a choice of what to use !!Yes, interchangeable blades, what a concept !!
 
Now that's superb. Two improvements I really like. I love my sebbie like it is but that is definately awesome. Love the wharny too. Thanks for sharing them!
 
Awesome! I'm a really big fan of the ovals and the S90V. As tsiloics stated add in a bigger pivot with bushing and you would have one hellva design.
 
Interesting, I would have spent $50 to license the Spyderco round hole though.
 
I always prefered and oval hole to a round as it does not create much of a hump on the blade back and you can create more contact surface for the same area.
 
I think because of the blade shows that were coming, the wait was longer. I think it was about 6 months. The first blade was half the time.
 
I don't suppose we can get a closed picture of that oval and how it meets with the new bevel of the thumb cutout? :D:thumbup: Oh and does the oval have a chamfer on it so it is nice and smooth on the thumb? It doesn't look like from the picture.

While you are at it, can we also get a picture of it fully opened?

In reply to both questions, here are a couple of pix. I really like how this turned out !!Sorry for the darker closed photo, I tried to show the thumb cutout Reese did. I like the flow of the blade to the handle specially in the opened position.Oh, somebody else(a forumite) the grooves on the handle that really adds to the overall looks of the knife.

Wow! It looks incredible open. It DOES flow very well. I love that wharny...and it has the slightest hint of belly.

Very good idea!

I suppose the thumbhole would be much easier to use with a Classic Sebenza.

Yes, I did think of opening the hole more like a classic but the scallop that Reese did works fine. For some reason, I think the very slightest of a belly aids in cutiing !!
