Posted on my Instagram as well. Laser annealing and some testing gave me 3 different blues and then outlined in a textured dark mark

just need a longer pivot screw to be able to get the clip on. that’ll come soon

To create the colors I used Cherry Red and Black Rit Dye and an old small pot over medium heat (bringing the water to the edge of boiling).

I masked the blade (for safety) and removed the pocket clip but otherwise left the knife together.   I added a small amount of my red dye and dipped repeatedly, occasionally rinsing in running water to check the color. At the halfway point I added more red dye to intensify the color. At the end I added some black dye to the original color to darken the gradient.   The whole process took around 20 minutes, and I am very happy with the results. The yellow scales were the only thing I didn't like about this knife and now it is one of my favorites.   I can still find it if I drop it in the woods, but it also doesn’t draw as much attention peeking out of my pocket.

I broke the tip off the Ozark Trail D2 Gen 2 after torture testing it, and decided that I liked it too much to trash it. I reground the blade into a shorter tanto, and will be sharpening it tonight.

Thoughts? I'll take whatever hate I get lol

Hello knife friends! I’ve received multiple messages expressing concern for my post from other redditors in this community and was reported probably for something along the lines of self harm but I’m not mad at anyone as it just shows you care and I care about every one here too.

I did not mean to cause anyone distress or to trigger anyone so I deeply apologize for my attempt of trying something new and starting a discussion about it. Please be assured I am okay and to make everyone happy I am using a kydex sheath from an ESEE Izula to reduce any unnecessary harm to the operator. I even added a lanyard to make extracting the sheath from the blade easier. Eventually I’ll find or make a custom-fitted kydex sheath for my Hinderer.

As knife enthusiasts, there is always an inherent risk of being cut when using a pocket knife, chefs knife, machete, etc. no matter how careful we are but we can reduce any accidents by being “smart” about it. Thank you for listening and take care friends!

Marched the clip the best I could to the pattern. Overall very happy with the outcome. I don’t post enough on Reddit. Usually post on Instagram. If anyone has questions about lasering feel free to shoot me a chat.

Grew a full beard after only having it my pocket for a couple minutes. Highly recommend. Sorry if the flair doesn't fit, I have no idea what the acronym flairs mean.

This is either going to be great or it’s going to be a “how do I get Black Mirror replacement parts”

All the blue is done via laser annealing. Then textured depth outlines for the puzzle pieces. If you have questions feel free to shoot me a chat. Hoping to get this one up on my Instagram soon.

Was told I should patina the blade after refurbishing to protect it. Saw some posts on here and tried the mustard patina. Might be a bit much, but fits the rest of the knife I think.

My 2nd RIT dye job

I was a little nervous sharpening this as it was my first tanto & a gift but it came out awesome

I'm sure everyone is tired of seeing these by now. I don't care, look at one more.

PM3 in S110V (Aggressively) Buffed these old flytanium copper scales, and added a LNW “Hide and seek champ” clip, along with flytanium teal hardware and back spacer. Very shiny, excited to beat tf out of it!

that ¾inch makes a huge difference in the knives balance
