Did the standard Royal Blue Rit Dye treatment on the Camo PM2. About an hour in the pot. Adding vinegar to the bath really helped.

Abbazaba, That PM2 turned out great, nice job!

that would be a cool idea for a sprint. urban camo, naval camo G-10 PM's.

I kind of like the idea of just some good old throwback Woodland Camouflage with like organic rounded shapes... not the digitized pixel.

That looks great. I bet some heat anodizing to the hardware would look great on this knife. Have you ever thought about something like that?

Salt 1 mods :
- reshaped blade spine;
- rounded and polished spine and SpyderHole;
- more fingers space on the handle (removed down side of the guard).

Featherblade, that's beautiful! I love a shiny spine, and the hole looks great (though I prefer sharp holes, yours looks nice). Love the dip in the blade. Thanks for sharing. :cool:

Just looking at your pictures makes my thumb feel good. I love the spine, too. How did you do it?

Featherblade, nice mod on the blade shape and polish ! :)

I've thought about polishing the inside of a thumb hole, but I'd want to keep the sharp edge. Looks very good though.

Jazz, Mad Mac, Nasgul and Evil D, thanks for your kind words!

The SpyderHole :
- Set of mounted grinding point;
- Sandpapers 1000 and 1500 rolled around my pinky;
- and this "special tool" with polish paste



The Spine :
- Circular bench grinder (but carefully !!);
- Sandpapers 120, 240, 400, 1000 and 1500 rolled around rounded piece of wood (hammer handle);
- A piece of leather with polish paste.

Thank you. Beautiful work.

The drill leather is really clever. Gonna steal that one.

Indeed, a clever simple tool!




I'll post these here, too.
Not much of a custom mod on my part, since I just bolted them together, but I am very happy with the result and Mr. Lynchs' work.

I created a flare in the edge of the tang to ease it over the detent ball on a liner lock.
Turns out the Company used the same mod years ago on the Para 2, props to bearfacedkiller.
There is a thread about this idea at viewtopic.php?f=2&t=69907

That Lynch Ti Delica is stellar...!!! I think Casey has a winner in that design...! KUDOS...!!!

Nothing here that others haven't done better. Felt compelled to get a S30V DLC blade into my Lightweight.
