Thanks! I have a friend who does mods and can anodize. So he acid washed the blade, and anodized the scales. They turned out a dark blue with hints of grey. It looks like a custom knife now. The hard part now is it needs to find more pocket time.Well this turned out nice! I'd love to hear more details on the ti scales. How'd you get them to look like that? Is that a dark grey or almost blue? Either way I really like the whole package. I haven't really been interested in a mantra 2 until I saw yours.
