950 Rift Mod

I really like 950 Rift. Well I like my 950BK-1 to be exact.

I have sort of request to BKC with some update on 950. Also blade steel change from 154CM to at least CPM950 would be nice.

Here is my 950BK-2

Jimping:

The place I have outlined in red should have shallow cut (1/16" with, 1/8" apart)
Each edge of cuts should be rounded, of cause.
Doing this, it would assure grip in normal hold as well as reverse hold.
Added traction would provide sure grip without having aggressive protrusion like that in 810.



Round off the edge of G10:

This area should have rounded off. It hinders grip by causing hot spot without wearing a glove.

It is not needed to be as aggressive as 810, but smoothing the edge of the handle would be a big plus.

.

Cross drilled handle (skeletonize):

I think this is self explanatory. I can see this would add to machining cost, but lighting the blade would be very ideal and put balance of the knife more to the pivot point.

(edit) Currently I am holding off this project. It is very tough to make cross drilled hole without drill press with 1/2" carbide drill.

  I am concerned. Would 808 Loco de-throne my rift?

  s30v is much better than 154cm.

  950-1401 is S30V. I want something better. S110V or M390...
