Nowadays it's simply toxified, but there will be may be some more work on the handle. (i knew it nothing new but it's fun to work on during more than two hour)

The spyderfly is well finished, well balanced and with a double system of pivot that i find ingenious and really efficient (and well adjusted).
Definitly a knife really fun to flip.

Wow! Another great job, typical for Ben!!! :cool:
I guessed he would made the blade looks prehistoricaly as well :D
Great to see your bali is VG10 :cool:

Thank you to everybody :).
To answer to the various question.
That took me only 2 hour of work to toxified the handle totality
It's indeed filed worked on each angle, and mod and improved with a dremel tungsten carbide tool.
For the idea to toxified the blade, i was thinking too :). And that is one of my speciality.

Finally i cut the round of the handle. At the beginning i was thinking to keep some part of the round. But after some simulation that was not really nice.
Finaly i cut totaly the ring part and try to simulate the end of a leg bone.

The flip is now faster, (less inertia because of the put away of some material).
The flip feeling is different that with the normal spyderfly, but i like it. And i like the "bones look "

And to finish a little Kydex sheath for the spyderfly

While I LOVE the look and probably the texture of it, I dont know that I could bring myself to lob the ends off of a Spyderfly. WOW. But it looks great!

Cool looking mod! A very appropriate finish for the Spyderfly's scales.
