Wanted to show some of my Spyderco Manix collection. Let me know what you guys think.

I got this Opinel knife as a gift when I was like 10 years old. When I grew out of its tipless blade shape, I at first started to modify it by carving its handle to fit my hand perfectly but still never used it because the blade wasn't usefull. When I went through my collection the other day, I decided to finally alter the bladeshape and make it useful again. A little filing and sanding later I achieved this beatiful look and after burning and oiling the handle I would say ​its the most elegant knife of my collection.

Spyderco Manix 2 S110v with rare(to my knowledge) John Grimsmo glow in the dark scales. This is the way!

I've been waiting years for a REX121 PM2, finally Cutlery Shopee drops an exclusive, and I'm about to drop some Aramis scales on this guy. Just wanted to brag . . . Gotta find the perfect milled Ti clip for this abomination

I bought my daughter one of those kits from Amazon where you assemble the knife yourself, a brand called Jin, this model is the Rhino; turned out to be an awesome little button lock so I decided to get one to mess around with myself, it's a dope little knife! Really snappy action, smooth bearings, great button lock "detent", 9cr steel with great ergos for its size.

I dyed the jade g10 scales with rit tropical teal, they ended up turning green pretty quick so I stopped where I was at.

I used fingernail polish and ferric chloride to etch the splatter onto the blade.

Then I heat anodized all of the hardware to a brass/bronze color. Pretty happy with it!

It's far from perfect but I'm happy with how it turned out.

I want to shorthen and slightly re shape the blade on this knife, what is the best way to approach it without messing it up too badly?

Made some nice ghost timascus parts for this one! 🔥
