I just bought a Tenacious and bought white aftermarket scales and all copper hardware…then came across this video and, man, first of all…you are one talented guy. Your knife came out looking amazing and I’m super excited to get mine put together with such a similar color palette to yours.
By far the sweetest Tenacious I’ve ever seen! Sorry to keep commenting but just discovered your channel and all the awesome knife mods. You do amazing work seriously!
"fidgeting" to me is opening, flicking, but also closing with a drop or flick. I have not seen one of these do both. As someone below said YOU ARE A CRAFTSMAN. I bet that is FUN.
You guys should try Sons of Liberty gun works Spec 76. It’s thin and super slick. I tried some on my persistence and used Brand KPL on a manix 2 and the persistence is just as fast and smooth as my manix 2. Which I think is the smoothest SpyderCo out there from factory.
@@Ryan.S924 That's just the way the knife comes, but I'm assuming Spyderco adds two on each side for the lubricant to flow through and make it extra smooth🤔
You've done a beautiful job. I see a lot of butchery bullshit on you tube( you did not fall into this catagory). Thank you for a wonderful presentation with an excellent result.
Thank you very much!😁 I wasn't a fan years ago but handling a few over the years, they slowly grew on me. Then I purchased a Para 3 Lightweight and never looked back.😎
Wow my dude, this is absolutely beautiful!!!! I have the Tenacious in S35VN. Do you do custom work for people? I'd love for you to do this to my Tenacious. If you do, quote a price and your contact info. I have the black 8cr one and the blue scaled S35VN one. I'd like my Black one done like yours
@@KnathansKnives soooooo many cool things! Wow! Thanks! I want to put a new scale on a CKRT Large Pilar. Thought I’d start with an inexpensive knife before a Spyderco😁
Thank you! I made sure the copper piece was as close to the thickness I needed and used a flat surface with sand paper to remove material until it was a perfect fit🙂
This was a sweet build. Wondering if you had any suggestions for the blade centering? My tenacious always runs with the blade favoring the scale side. Thanks!
Man you make it look so easy. This one was impressive with literally no crazy tools. I was wondering how you cut of the spot for the liner lock. This one looks so good 👌
I can create the scales but the golf ball and last name will be interesting. I know you can have your last name engraved by an engraver after the custom scales. Maybe a golf ball texture on the scales themselves? 🤔
Thank you very much!🙏🙏😁 If you'd like you can DM me on my Instagram(Knathansknives) or email me at Knathansknives@yahoo.com and we can go from there.🤜💥🤛🍻🍻
Spettacolare!!! Ottimo lavoro 😃🔝👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Nice and thank you very much! It's a great budget knife! Unless you got the S35VN Steel Blade version?
Beautiful

@@KnathansKnives hey so why did you use four bronze washers on this knife?

So impressed with your creativity!

This thing looks like something a cartel boss would carry everyday! Great job on it bro!!!
Ha! Thank you!😁🤜💥🤛
That black, copper and white is looking like a good color combo/scheme! Turned out great!
Thank you, appreciate it brother!
Absolutely love everything except the copper filler tab🤷 the backspacer and scales are sick!
Awesome job 👍👍👍!

@@KnathansKnives i own a persistence (the tenacious's smaller counterpart) and am putting a backspacer and custom hardware on it
Knathan killing it with the attention to detail . Let’s make some knives . I m in Ohio .
Thank you very much! Hello from Texas!
I'm not a huge fan of Spyderco, BUT I'm in love with this!
Thank you very much!😁
I wasn't a fan years ago but handling a few over the years, they slowly grew on me. Then I purchased a Para 3 Lightweight and never looked back.😎
@@KnathansKnives I understand. Lol! I'm slowly staring to love those blades.
Any advice on getting the screws out of the cylinder spacers? Got flytanium scales but can't get three of the screws out
I like to use boiling water and let the knife sit in it for about 2 minutes to soften the Loctite.
Wow my dude, this is absolutely beautiful!!!! I have the Tenacious in S35VN. Do you do custom work for people? I'd love for you to do this to my Tenacious. If you do, quote a price and your contact info. I have the black 8cr one and the blue scaled S35VN one. I'd like my Black one done like yours
Thank you Gary!😁
I do take custom orders, I have an inquiry on my website that you can fill out and we can go from there.🙂 Appreciate it!🤜💥🤛
Hey what’s the reason to use 4 bronze washers here? Any benefit? Or is it because your G10 scales were a bit thicker than stock?
Looks like a awesome custom! 👍🏻
Thank you! Cheers!🤜💥🤛🍻🍻🍻
Where can g10 scale material be purchased? I’d like to try a much simpler upgrade😁. 🤩 thanks
Here's one place I order my G10.😁

That's a great blade to start MODS on, definitely have to send me photos when you're finished with it!🤜💥🤛
@@KnathansKnives I will! Thanks for the positive vibes!
No problem! Anything! 🤜💥🤛
I found your channel through reddit great vid, thanks for sharing :)
Appreciate it Ben!😁
Great Job!!
Thank you Jerry!😎🍻
The backspacer on this is fantastic! How did you get the thickness perfect so it doesnt rattle?
Thank you!
I made sure the copper piece was as close to the thickness I needed and used a flat surface with sand paper to remove material until it was a perfect fit🙂
Wow bro 😳 this is really good mod work! Love it!
Thank you sir! I got more coming! 😁
This was a sweet build. Wondering if you had any suggestions for the blade centering? My tenacious always runs with the blade favoring the scale side. Thanks!
Thank you! 😁
I had the same issue but then I tried Metal Complex's method to centering a blade and it worked! 😁
Man you make it look so easy. This one was impressive with literally no crazy tools. I was wondering how you cut of the spot for the liner lock. This one looks so good 👌
Appreciate it and thank you! I used to use a dremel to remove material for the liner lock but now I just hand mill it out🙂
@@KnathansKnives do you just use a regular drill bit or is the a specific milling bit for drilling out liner locks and cutouts for pocket clip
@@anything_knife_related5647 Correct, I use a specific milling bit.🙂
I love That Grain on the blade i also Have custom scales
Thank you, I love me a good stonewash! What custom scales do you have?
@@KnathansKnives I Made them out of Wallnut and Black micarta
@@gamingunion2870 Nice! Do you happen to have an Instagram or a photo of it? I'm curious to see what it looks like.🙂
Amazingly excellent 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Do you still have the green scales?
I think so 🤔
Awesome dude.

@@KnathansKnives they want 84$ for shipping to canada
Oh man! That's crazy! Try Jantz Supply Company.
@@KnathansKnives cool thanks
I want to get this knife customs with a wood handle a golf ball in it and my last name how do I go around about doing that
I can create the scales but the golf ball and last name will be interesting. I know you can have your last name engraved by an engraver after the custom scales. Maybe a golf ball texture on the scales themselves? 🤔
Hey! Can I ask what media you are using in your tumbler setup?
Yes sir, I use medium size ceramic pellets. 😁

@@KnathansKnives lol thanks man I actually had that one in my cart! Love the project by the way you killed it!
good video bud!
Thank you! Really appreciate it! 🙏🙏😁
Maybe try clear coating the scales to make them easier to keep clean. Love this build though.
Appreciate the tip and thank you! 🤜💥🤛
I wish i could get someone to do this for me !!!!!! ❤❤❤

Unfortunately,the Native 5 and all other Spyderco with the back lock can’t be Spydie flicked
The Work is first Class 👍 The Knife Ugly
Appreciate it!🙂
I really don’t think I want skills I just wanted to be wood looking
Hmmm...🤔
It said skills but I meant scales I would just like it to look like wood, with all of the Copper you do
I might be able to create some wood grain on copper.🙂
Be careful of idiot scratches
🤷♂️
Try the Persistence instead of the a
Ambitious. Personallt, I find it more workable..
I'll definitely do one soon!😎
