I wanted to share a couple photos of a Spyderco Phoenix I was sent by a customer. This knife was pretty badly beat up, you can see in the before photograph that the frame was completely scratched, likewise the blade had a lot of marring, and the scales were pretty beat up.
I did a complete refinish, surfaced the handle scales and then satin'ed the frame with blue ano. Then I added new scales made of silver twill G10, a material that's sometimes called platinum carbon fiber but it's really aluminum coated fiberglass. Lastly I polished and reshaped the blade spine with a crown at the owner's request. It's hard to tell this is the same knife, it looks brand new. I'm pretty happy with it.
