Cut down DoDo ?

#1

Post by Lonehunter »

Well I just got my blue pe.I like it,really neat knife.The ball lock is solid!! It flips open with the slightest flick of the wrist.



What I would like to do is cut down the handle.I would like to cut it off just past the slots for the clip,then round it so it looks more like a Meercat handle,add a spacer and carry in my pocket.



I really like the look when I tape off the "dolphin nose",I just can't bring myself to break out the saw and files yet.



Anyone cut g-10? I would think its easy to shape and smooth.



Oh how do you remove this clip?It seems like I need 2 torx drivers as one just spins the whole thing.

I can't remember where, but I read that it's really dangerous to file G10. Apparently it's quite noxious if you inhale the shavings.

You are in no danger sawing and fileing G10.
It could be harmful, if you cause a lot of dust as in Grinding it, but for that most people use a good respirator.

Good idea, I'd love to see one with a meercat shaped handle. I knowyou've already seen mine on BF but for everyone else, see my post (customized my Dodo).
