I vote four. Gotta love the smock! Also, MC: "I wish they'd bring the malice back!" WE: "wish granted and with a button lock!" Now it's even more like the shaman for you!
I vote number two. There's not a lot of aftermarket support for most budget knives, which means doing it yourself and making it your own and I love that.
Greetings MC! My vote here goes for Number Two, the CJRB Crag. it's just a fine example of more bang for the buck, twice over. No need to buy an expensive knife and no need to spend a lot to mod it. You can still do something original with what you have on hand.
love the smock he also forgot to add that he got a bigger choil which I think the knife needed because the factory one was useless. number four gets my vote.
@@cactusjelly808 yes. Dremel stone grinding bit followed by a dremel 120 sanding drum then a 240 drum. Makes the choil entirely usable. Very easy, just requires concentration and a steady hand. I wrote the Smocks an email about it suggesting they tell Spyderco to alter it and his wife wrote me back saying that people valued more blade length than a bigger choil. I didn’t bother to respond since that is ridiculous. Making the choil bigger eats up perhaps 1/8 inch of blade.
I vote for number two, its a really cool way to give an inexpensing knife some pizazz and just doing something different that hasnt been done before with an easier accessible knife
#3 is brilliant, handle texture that does NOT hurt your hand, love the result. #5 looks brilliant but for diy mods have to give it to #3 spyderco for the win.
I have to go with number two. To take an inexpensive knife and put that much work into it that basically costs nothing but your time and come out with something that nice is awesome.
THREE! I love the acid etch on the blade, and I think it really makes the knife look like a much more valuable and higher prices knife, but you know it'll still function just fine :D
#2 was so well done so it has my vote, the way they did the fake San mai makes it look like an entirely different knife and the handle looks like a lot of work has been put into it
Number Two, that's really inventive. Would be nice to see knives on the market that were differentially hardened and had real hamons actually. Would be a neat little gimmick, and who knows, maybe a modern steel might make some interesting patterns.
Gotta go with number two on this one! That Shaman is really neat and I like the tiger theme they got going on there but the CJRB has some true custom work put into it and I love that.
Hey, very unrelated to the video, but I was hoping you can give me some insight on the shaman and pm3 are they flippable, or semi flipable via the spidey hole or are they also stiff like the delica?

Number 4, that ano job is killer and the "rock" design looks very bubbly like to me, makes it look all very uniquely organic
My favourite is number four , the Smock .

Number two does it for me, awesome job turning a budget knife into something really cool 🤘
love the smock he also forgot to add that he got a bigger choil which I think the knife needed because the factory one was useless. number four gets my vote.
I made my choil bigger 2 days after I got it.
@@jagpilotohio nice, you did it yourself? I was thinking of doing the same thing when I got my smock

Knife #2 is just ridiculously good.
That's my vote for sure.
Gotta go with number two, the Crag, as the mod completely transformed this budget knife
Number 3 on this. Just an interesting look. I dig it.
I vote two. Looks much more expensive. Well done
Two. Great creativity with super inexpensive canvas.
Number four, one of the coolest smocks i’ve seen by far
I go with number four
Number two. This was the hardest choice yet but I love the art work on this knife.
I vote number two. Took a knife with a lot going for it, and made it great!
#3 is brilliant, handle texture that does NOT hurt your hand, love the result. #5 looks brilliant but for diy mods have to give it to #3 spyderco for the win.
I have to go with number two. To take an inexpensive knife and put that much work into it that basically costs nothing but your time and come out with something that nice is awesome.
Two. The Crag looks great. I owned a few, never thought to mod them. Great work.
My vote goes to Number 2 by a long shot. Simple, affordable and transformative. So sick that I am going to try doing this myself.
The vote goes to number three. It looks really cool.
THREE!
I love the acid etch on the blade, and I think it really makes the knife look like a much more valuable and higher prices knife, but you know it'll still function just fine :D
#2 was so well done so it has my vote, the way they did the fake San mai makes it look like an entirely different knife and the handle looks like a lot of work has been put into it
Number two. That looks like a badass custom now!
I vote number two! these are all great
Three just does it for me. Subtle enough and still super cool. Thanks!
Number Two, that's really inventive. Would be nice to see knives on the market that were differentially hardened and had real hamons actually. Would be a neat little gimmick, and who knows, maybe a modern steel might make some interesting patterns.
Number two. It really changes the knife to something else.
definitely number two, budget knife transformed
Going with knife number 3. Big Spyderco fan. Mods looks awesome!
Gotta go with number two on this one! That Shaman is really neat and I like the tiger theme they got going on there but the CJRB has some true custom work put into it and I love that.
My vote is for number two. They took a knife that I would never buy, and turned it into one that I would love to add to my collection.
Number one. The backspacer is great.
Hey, very unrelated to the video, but I was hoping you can give me some insight on the shaman and pm3 are they flippable, or semi flipable via the spidey hole or are they also stiff like the delica?
They are much easier to manipulate. Literally two of my favorites to flip with the Spydie hole 👍
This is a cool series MC!
Number one. Love the channel complex
Number four. I’m way too into ancient astronaut theory presently lol. Dope series boss thanks.
Number three does it for me! Like the Jungle theme and the tiger stripes are subtle and clean.
That Crag!! Heck yeah number two.
Number two, love seeing good mods that people can do for themselves.
# Three, i love the shames shape and the acid dip came out amazing. Scales look great!
Number two please...really enjoying this mod ditty you put together, thanks MC
#2 Gets my vote! Great work, turned a budget knife into a stunner!
Love the detail on the smock
Four is amazing, I love the Smock!

Number two! Awesome job dressing up an inexpensive knife.

Number one. Love those scales.
Straight out of the gate, number one for me.
