That's great fun and really well executed! I love Spydercos; yes, they're mass produced but they're really nicely made and the stainless ones are a great canvas for the engraver.
That's just brilliant
While on the subject of spyderco, if I were to set some stones, what type of ball burrs are recommended?
I guess regular ones won't like steel.
Chris, I don't know about the Spyderco, but if I drill holes for pave stone setting using a regular Busch ball bur, 3-5 holes and then replace the bur.
Nice work dude! Bones Brigade killed it back in the day! They all help make skateboarding what it is today. You should send a pic to Powell ;] nice cutting!!
Now that brings back some memories! Seeing this gave me flashbacks to 14 years old, skateboards, punk rock, beer and girls. (in that order as I recall) I love seeing stuff that non traditional. This and Tim Wolf's snail pendant are the highlights of my morning.
Oh, and all your usual burs should work for steel. Just lubricate well and let the metal tell you what it wants.

thank you all for the nice comments. This was a fun project and took me back to a time where my passion for skateboarding gave me a sense of identity. Just like today engraving gives me that same identity and drives me to create.
Marcus is right, these are great knives and I was very pleased with how well they cut.
thanx again everybody for taking the time to look and to comment.
I'm learned to do all this classical stuff and probably will continue doing that. But more and more i find it intriguing and i take my hat of for the more modern creations! You did an excellent job Man!
You're right Bram. I was also brought up in the classical mould as that's what the European gun trade wants/demands but like you I also find modern creations wonderful and exciting too.
