potterma,
That red CF looks awesome! I hope someone chime in about that mirror polish. I wonder how they did it without taking off the ethching.

Nice work again Mr. Mollester.

Ghostrider,
I "believe" the mirror polish was done *before* the CLB was etched on the blade :eek: ... That would make this one quite rare :eek: :eek:

Thanks for the kind words, para-force :D

Either way it is very nice. I've been known to put a mirror polish on my blades in the past.

I haven't done it with any of my Spydercos because when I tried it with VG-10 it didn't seem to make any difference.

I prefer a mirror polish myself.

Don't care for the mirror polish, but that's because I'd scratch it up before it even made it into my pocket, but the rest of it is HOT! :cool:

That is really nice! You are definately the world's number 1 when it comes to customising the Sub-com! :D

Good one! :cool:

Great pics, potterma.
That one is proudly mine, and SubMolester was kind enough
to post pics for me, as I don't have a digi-cam.

As far as the mirror polish goes, there were two made, back when the
factory was doing pre-protos, and they were trying to show off
what they could do. The MPSF has the 420 blade, and shorter clip.
I have one, and my boss has the other. And I have scratched the hell out of it, as it was my worker for a while.
Thanks for the great work, potter, and for the good words on the knife, guys.
Take care

Wow, where did you find that coloured CF? It looks absolutely stunning and it matches quite nice with the mirror finish. Thanks for sharing the great pics and congrats to Terry for his unique "biscuit" ;) I'm pretty satisfied with the regular one myself :)

Aloha potterma,

Cripes man, great job! In the first pic, I thought the SF had a blade like the Nealy Pesh Kabz! :eek: You truly are the Master SF Molester! Keep it up bro!

@ Terry...how the heck did you get one of them polished blades again and I didn't? :D

Awesome piece Terry...enjoy it!

God bless and take care KnifeBrothers :cool:

I got my molested SubCom in the mail today.
Let me tell you, the pics don't do this piece justice,
at all. The workmanship is great, detailing is awesome,
and the thicker scale fills the hand better than the original.
Thanks, potter, I really appreciate it, and love it.

Hi Terry. I forgot to say in the previous reply that I hate you! ;)

seeing these scales gets me into one of those 'collect them all!' mindsets, which is NOT bank acct friendly... ;)

can't wait to get my 'potterized' subcom in hand this week! :D
