Pimped Victorinox  .

These really useful lightweight paring knives seem to be grabbing a lot of attention recently thanks to https://www.instagram.com/edsmanifesto/?hl=en

This one I pimped some time ago has seen years of use by me as a gardening knife , the tip was well rounded off and the serrations almost gone for good as they make one of the best weeding tools easily sliding between path paving slabs and patios etc .

 After re pointing the tip and etching and stone-washing the blade/ handle which really improves the grip  I re cut the serrations  and added a basic kydex sheath so ready for a few more years of service .

In my prior Nura 3.0 modification post, I mentioned that I would include a picture of the knife in the dark. Well, in addition to that photograph, I also completed another one with a different glow pigment.

The knife on the left is a stock Nura 3.0. The center one is a newer modified knife, and the right one is an older one with the orange glow pigment.

The above picture, despite being not in…

Summer is nearly here .

That means me starting to get my camping gear ready again and pimping it up a little where needed .

Ive had this stainless camping cutlery set for many years but since getting a folding Ti Spork it rarely gets used so thought Id modify it to better suit my needs.

I don’t really like shiny things except Cyflect and signal mirrors ! so gave the whole package the etch and stone-wash treatment .
