Adventures in monkeying around with knives

Did a little knife work this weekend. First up was just some Ti bits for my friend's Blade HQ Ultratech:

Finished up a Frag Patterned QSP Penguin:

I haven't been spending too much time on my knives of late, but I have managed to get some stuff finished up. Here is the Mini A100. I found the G10 scales to be super aggressive, like all Emersons, so I just sanded them down and shined them up. Ti parts from Emerson and xxxadrenalinxxx.

That's a beauty!

Thanks, I have been getting better greens lately so I am happy.

Did a little highlight work on my Chaves Silver Bullet. Just a quick note to others learning this Ti anodizing stuff, with the orange peel finish on this knife the color per voltage is very different than say a stone washed (color moves down from the voltage used) or blasted finish. If the Ti was blasted at 83V i would expect it to be an electric blue but it went all the way to green which to my setup is more like 88V or higher.

Got my Scale for the Emerson CQC-17 from Kahless Custom. I really like the look and feel of burlap micarta. Came out exactly the way I wanted. Kahless Custom scales, Lynch NW Clip, Ti hardware from Emerson and xxxadrenalinxxx:

Got some Richlite scales for my Emerson Yangtze Jack, also from Kahless Custom. I think the ano matches pretty good.

Got a couple more done today. Finally got back into Spyderco knives, since I mean I do live in Colorado.

First up is a Para 3 in Maxamet. Like the grey G10 but had to go to CF from Votix EDC. Hardware from RGT with a CF clip from 11Spartans.

Finished up a couple of Spydercos this weekend.

Started with a Sage 5 in Maxamet. Added RGT Micarta scales, RGT Ti Hardware and Ti Clip to replace the stock wire one. I really am not a fan of wire clips.

Second is a Para 3 in 10V (I think this was a REC exclusive). Just did a quick swap on the scales to RGT Red Burlap Micarta. I have Ti Hardware but I haven't come up with a good color to match the scales.
