Sypderco Lil Matriach a.k.a Lil Devil

[CliffCurry]

Aloha everyone,

Latest project has been one Ive wanted to do for a while. The original knife is a Lil Matriach that I’ve re-scaled and acid/stonewashed the blade, clip, and all the screws.

Scales I picked up from bladehq. Blade was aggressively soaked for about an hour. Stonewashed with rocks from the hobby store in a large thick plastic protein powder container, wrapped & taped in a towel, and put in the dryer for a couple hours going clunk clunk clunk! 😛

I’ve kept the blade angle at 18dps and after 1000 grit paddles I used glass platens and sanding strips/lapping films down to .3 microns. Finished with 1u/.5u/.25u diamond spray on kangaroo.

Shes an ornery Lil Devil alright! 👿
