I guess this counts as a mod :)
Took the dark clip from my Sage 1 and put it on my beloved Squeak. Makes it even more discreet in the pocket.

I printed out the logo on regular paper, but used a laserjet. Those printers use toner instead of ink, and toner can be transferred by using acetone.phillipsted wrote:Pretty cool, Dutchblades! How did you make the Spyder logo?

So I basically made the handle, printed out the logo, put it printed side towards the wood, applied acetone and rubbed on the paper like you used to do with those fake tattoos :p Sanded it very lightly for a worn effect and applied three layers of lacquer so it's won't rub off

I should have understand better with the picture as it's not my own language but in fact the explanation were much helpful ! :D
Nice work DutchBlades !
Only thing is that I would have like darker slabs.

Darker slabs would've looked great aswell, but I went with lighter ones in the end.
Gives off a nice contrast of colours in the display and it suits such a little knife.
The darker the slabs, the smaller the knife will look.
Thanks :DEnigma wrote:where there's a will, there's a way. Nice mod DutchBlades!
I might work on some other Spydie's in the near future.
Wooden handled Endura with the logo burned in seems nice... :D

Kissing cousin went through another continuing evolution with mirror and heat ano finish on clip/RIL, Yojimbo also evolved with double chamfer mod on spine:
