Knife Surgery -- Spyderco Shaman with Aramis Akhmedov Scales and Adrenalin Hardware!

[@DoctorFrunkey]

**EDIT** Adrian is from Australia. Sorry for the incorrect info. He also has a new website: www.xxxadrenalinxxx.com

[@edsaban572]

Nice looking and a lot of options but way overpriced. He wants $60 just for handle screws and another $60 for the lanyard tube and stand off. Hah!!!

[@BigShaneGillis]

Wow! These are absolutely stunning. Some of the most impressive replacement scales I’ve ever seen

[@dtomknivesandgear6635]

Those scales are sick! I am definitely going to check them out for my Shaman.

[@BennyBladez-]

Always amazing Doc. Always amazing. I’m always impressed by what you have but never surprised. Thank you for sharing and for all the work you do!

[@Mridgwell]

Really nice thanks for link. Your channel is great

[@vasilisfellouzis]

Nice scales and hardware! I recently purchased the hardware from the same guy and the grand line cf scales for a para 3 from aramis but still waiting for the scales to show up over a month now. Could you please make a video of how you center the blade when you reassemble the knife? Thanks

[@meangene4038]

Been using Adrian for a while. Great source, great guy! Isn't he from Australia? A bit slow during covid-19. He told me, he's swamped with orders...everyone's staying home modding. :) Also, what's great about Adrian is...if you don't see the color you want in his ebay store, you can contact him and he can custom anodize whatever you want. The first time I ordered from him, I wanted all brass hardware for my ZT, but only saw brass for the stand-offs, so I settled for bronze screws (or it might have been the other way 'round). Anyway, Adrian noticed that and the next morning, I had a message from him asking me if I would prefer ALL brass, saying that he could ano new screws for me. He had it done and in my order that day. The only thing: if you're an instant gratification freak and can't wait for a good thing...well, he is down under from most of us and it takes time. So, I'm planning on ordering a bunch of stuff to have a decent stock on hand. I've been modding like crazy. Don't know much about Aramis Akhmedov, his scales look great, and I love the way he contours them.

[@sethgilm]

Very beautiful pieces

[@kerryrwac]

He makes matching stop pins for the Shaman now . I can see you ordering them now lol . They look good Doc .

[@darinevans7011]

That blue one is sick. Top notch scales.

[@Cristopher1976]

Are you going to grab one of the St.Nicks pm2s next weekend?

[@Daniel323LA]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Best modder! ☝🏼

[@JackGHobbies]

Looks like a Spyderco Saturday. I can personally attest to the quality titanium work of @x_x_x_a_d_r_e_n_a_l_i_n_x_x_x as seen on 3 of my Benchmade's. Love the work of Aramis. Stay well.

[@Dwfshamrock]

I am waiting on some hardware for a zt 393 from him, can't wait

[@chrisw3249]

Very nice, I would but a set of these, but not on his website, nice looking fasteners!

[@kylorenthehusky2584]

Beautiful!

[@uckBayNguyen]

I love the shaman, but it's a big knife. I wish Spyderco would do more promotions with the Native 5, my favorite

[@SteveKluver]

Thank you so much, Doc. Looking good! : - ) Where can we go, to look at all of the carbon plate CF options? I'd like to see the different color options, and purchase a sheet. I've found DragonPlate, but that's not the same as your source, correct?

[@DoctorFrunkey]

I follow and communicate with carbonplate via Instagram. They have a website carbonplatena.com/

[@SteveKluver]

Thank you, @@DoctorFrunkey. My search for 'carbonplate CF' was just so generic, that the returned results. Were overwhelming, and not on point. It's been a few months, since I bought a set of scales from Aramis. I am overdue.

[@MetalRush666]

Did you mean ebay and not etsy? Or does he have an etsy store as well? He does amazing scale work. I got yojimbo 2 and paramilitary 2 scales from him and while it takes some time it's well worth the wait. I guess I have to buy a shaman now.

[@DoctorFrunkey]

Correct ebay!

[@DoctorFrunkey]

I have a link to his shop in the description

[@Keith_the_knife_freak]

Very nice !!!!

[@jesser8369]

Just got a set of carbon fiber scales and red backspacer for my dlc shaman. It is AMAZING love the feel of the knife now it feels brand new! Only thing is I think I reassembled it just a lil bit off.. I had the action perfect prior to install, and now I gotta fix it again. 🤦‍♂️ FIXED** Amazing what blue loctite and micro adjustments can do! Now she is absolutely flawless, and I am extremely happy. These scales are one hundred percent quality, beautiful and functional. Love that they made my shaman lighter, ans grippier.

[@knifelife7777]

Those scales are amazing! Is he still shipping even with everything going on?

[@DoctorFrunkey]

Yes he is but shipping may be delayed

[@thefatrobot]

Are the new scales any lighter than the factory?

[@jeo1349]

SICK bro --------

[@jamesgrant9377]

OMG they're awesome, being in NZ myself I had no idea we had an expert custom hardware man here. Do you know where he is in NZ? Has he got a contact outside fleabay?

[@chrisamerson]

Is that the blue marble cf?

[@AMR33DRZ]

I know I'm a little late to the party but I'm not entirely sure Aramis can even ship to the USA. I used the links but says seller is away till 2030 😱 If you have any insight on that'll be great.

[@kniffeine]

Can you make any for the spyderco bombshell

[@ByRecentDesign]

Where can we get that dust infused carbon fiber? Google is turning up nothing for me.

[@jacksonblack2776]

You Frunkeyized them. 👍

[@dwaynoinsano5053]

So damn 🔥

[@nicholasnugen1689]

I thought those were unidirectional carbon fiber put down in layers with epoxy and then heat treated. Maybe I got a different kind.

[@MountaineerSamurai]

That is dope as hell👍👍🇺🇸🔪🔪

[@lanehoward4466]

👍

[@lastissue12]

Doctor Frankey could help me out I am looking for someone who I can send my pm2 to regrind it to have different profile. I contacted Razor's Edge, he is absolutely swamped. If you can refer me to somebody the help would be much appreciated.

[@lanehoward4466]

💚🔪👍😎👍

[@ronniebragg6764]

I ordered a set of these from the man in Russia it's been over for months and I have not received them yet ask for a refund he said go through eBay they are not much help never order something from someone in another country just a tip for all your viewer

[@cody3078]

I may be the minority but I find most of these colored pattern scales really cheesy looking. Makes it look like you’d have the knife in one hand and a vape in the other lol
