The first mod I'm willing to show in public!

I've just done a 2-week roadtrip; here's the knife I made to cover my everyday needs and for on-the-go fixes:

  • Started as a Compact
  • Swapped the corkscrew for a Phillips
  • Added the file / metal saw layer from a Ranger, complete with tiny screwdriver on the reverse
  • Custom brass liners (1mm on the outside; 0.8mm on the inner layers)
  • Olive micarta plus scales from Taschenmesser

The Ladybug blade is also just plain better, it's made with vg10, while the Honeybee is made from 3cr13.  Japanese blade vs Chinese blade...seems like an easy choice, not very challenging at all.

No, that makes sense. In your separate thread you didn't mention the steel though, you just said it was because it was Chinese.

"Most of what I've seen people do, is use a Honeybee blade, but they are made in China and I didn't want a chinese blade."

Guess it's both, if I can avoid buying something made in China, I will.

My other Spydernox Mini Champ build with an older Spyderco Ladybug blade.  7 layers, regular Vic blade, serrated a Vic blade too, wood saw made from a nail file.  Modified the scale to accept shortened tweezer and toothpick.

It never occurred to me to even consider the metallurgy of the blade.  Learn something new every day.

Question, does anyone use the small blade from the 91mm in the 58mm instead of going with a Honeybee or a Ladybug?  It looks like it would fit.

The 91mm awl has been done, I don’t remember seeing the small blade but that would be cool.

    Right off the bat, I would say that the shank on any 91mm is too deep to fit in a 58mm frame.  A quick and dirty measure of a Spartan I have close is 12.4mm.  A classic frame runs only about 14mm.  No way to get a blade and spring in there without thinning things down radically.  Wouldn't be much left once you finished that.  Best wishes.  G

Interesting thought.  I bet It could work with some grinding and drilling.  Might have to drill a pivot into the Stainless Steel, would need a carbide bit.  Would have to worry about thickness too.  When I come across a spare small blade from a 91mm l, I'll take a look.

    Right off the bat, I would say that the shank on any 91mm is too deep to fit in a 58mm frame.  A quick and dirty measure of a Spartan I have close is 12.4mm.  A classic frame runs only about 14mm.  No way to get a blade and spring in there without thinning things down radically.  Wouldn't be much left once you finished that.  Best wishes.  G
 :)

Treat it just like a Spyderco blade, drill a new pivot hole, would need to be in the steel though, carbide bit would have to be used.  Most of the blade would stick out like a Spyderco blade.

I paint around the pivot with nail polish and dip them in warm Ferric Chloride for a few minutes. It has been a kick I have been on for my last few mods. I really like patinas and carbon steel, so this kind of has that effect a bit.
