I think CM may "ugly up" the aesthetics of most of the pieces he mods, but most of them don't look any worse than a lot of stuff out there. They have some sort of undeniable charm, ya know? I always get a kick out of seeing them.

I can tell you from experience what a modder is thinking (at least what *I* am thinking).

When I mod a knife, I am thinking, "this SOB is mine and I like it, but I would like it better like this". Then I get out my tools and start "destroying" the project. Many times I post up the results and many polite people entertain me by saying things like, "sweet pimp job!", or "Nice Work!!". I realize that they are probably just being polite, but in the end, I am doing it for me and not them.

Now for the important part! It does not always go well. Sometimes I have a fantastic idea or vision of what I want, but my abilities fail to reach that vision...completely. A feeling of low follows that is far lower than any high I get from a mod gone well. I can see where a lot of guys would make an effort to rid their lives of these failures. I think I am going to hang onto mine to remind me of lessons learned!

The crazy thing is that sometimes I show these utter failures (in my mind) to someone and they think they are fantastic (and I realize that they are not just being polite when they ask "how much?"). Still other times, I show off what I feel is some of my better work and the guy starts to squirm like he just stepped on a dog turd and now he has to figure out how to get it off his shoe.

My point in all this? It is like a used car salesman once told me, "Somewhere out there there is an ass that will fit that seat perfectly". To say it a little cleaner, for every thing, there is some guy who loves it.

I mean no offense to the owner of this knife. It is unique and I am sure has it's benefits, but I have to post this here:

^idk, its kina a prerunner to the sage2. Maybe the inspiration! lol:barf:

No, that’s a knife done recently for a member here. Its not really a modification, he just had a custom blade made for his knife. If he wanted he could but the stock blade back in.

Here’s the thread be started.

i am suprised someone hasnt put a ring on a std knife, like a spyderco miliie or similar, trying to make it something it isnt, hopefully the next post isnt a pic of a mod'ed millie with a ring lol.

The closest I can think of is a delica with a key chain ring, though that is not a permanent add-on.

I saw it also had the "zip-tie" on the Spyderhole. Does that make Spydies wave? Only asking cus I don't have any in the house right now or I'd find out.

I also saw this with the same guy.

yea, that's a getto wave. i tried it and it works, but when i wanted to open the blade with my thumb, my thumbnail would catch on the zip-tie, so i cut it off.

Might be ugly as hell, but I don't see how it can even be a contender for "worst modded knife".

Not only does the blade seem to be well made, but it likely offers a significant cutting advantage, as well making it easier to open.

I have to admit though, I haven't seen as many botched knife mods/abominations as I have seen terrible guns/motorcycles.

With that being said, here's a waste of a 10mm Delta Elite:

I wonder how that bottom spike on the feels when performing a reload.

Holy crap! Yeah no kidding, definitely want to watch yourself when slapping a new mag in there.
Last week, I dropped an open Buck 110 into the base of the palm on my left hand. That pic is making the wound throb!!

 

[dsmegst]

The Sage wave mod is not too bad. I'd spend some extra time on the blade but otherwise Ok.

 

[RevDevil]

Can I just ask why??

I don't see the point of turning a gentlemans folder into a piece of :barf:....(shiny footprints, remember!)

The Sage is a smooth opening knife, and a suitable mod to me would have been a nice leather sheath.

I think he was talking about the sage with the wave mod. He is probably too new to have ever even seen CM's modded Skirmish.

I don't see much wrong with the sage wave. On the other hand, CM's waved Skirmish is something only the modder could love.

The worst re-profiling job I've ever seen someone boast about:

Not just the blade, but the thumbstuds too

Thats why you shouldn't use an edge pro.

 

[canook]

What the hell!?! Just take the studs off before you start.

CM's waved Skirmish is something

Are there any links to this "must see" picture? I've watched all of CM's videos and I can't spot it?
