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.

Here's a new shot of my modded Techno. The Anno is holding up fine with only a few fine scratches from my keys.

The things you can do with an old paint stirring stick :D
A tiger has claws.
A wolf has teeth.
An eagle has talons.
We, have Spyderco.

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.
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 ;)

There have to video's on the acetone steps, I don't think I'm the first to do it ;)
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 :D
I might work on some other Spydie's in the near future.
Wooden handled Endura with the logo burned in seems nice... :D
