A few of you might know me from another knife forum, and it's nice to be here after lurking for so long. I wanted to post photos of my Spyderco-inspired tattoo. It's distinctly a Spyderco, but it doesn't exist (it's not a model ever offered by Spyderco).
I took the handle of the carbon fiber Stretch, exactly to size and shape, and made the texture look like the carbon fiber of the first Sage. The blade is a Native blade, stretched to fit the handle, and with that Spyderco "hump" that we all love. The result is below...
Next to a Native, its main inspiration (I don't have a Stretch yet)...
The photos don't do the tattoo justice; he really did a great job on making the carbon fiber look real. I think it was very well-executed from my drawing, and it's only my interpretation of what the "perfect" Spyderco would be for me.
UPDATE:
My tattoo artist just informed me that my Endura is all drawn up. Specifically, it's the third-generation Endura (the one with the tip-up clip that's bolted on with two big Phillips bolts and has a lanyard hole through).
This knife, but plain-edged...
It's going to be full-sized and as soon as we can work out a trade (I get all of my tattoos through trading knives) we'll get it done. I'll post photos here of the finished Endura tattoo.
Thoughts?

And you thought that having a layer of skin zapped would tickle? :pJay_Ev wrote:Came out pretty good. I'm currently going through surgery having my tattoos removed and it friggin' HURTS!!! :eek:
I'm just waiting on funds to be available before I go for my 2nd tattoo, then have to find an artist that does the style already.

Why do people worry more if you argue with your voices than if you just talk with them? What about if you lose those arguements?
Slowly going crazy at work... they found a way to make the voices work too.
