Number 5 hands down, for a number of reasons. Its not only subjectively to my liking but also the most labor intensive and origional mod on the list and in my opinion the most integrated and complex aesthically. So it gets the winning vote from me at every level of comparison. That isn't to say the other mods were poorly done or "not proper mods", they just weren't on the same level in my opinion.

#5 looks great and is my favorite looking mod of the bunch. #3 isn't even the same knife anymore imo. Since nothing but the Axis lock is left from the original, I consider it a brand new separate knife instead of a mod since you could take all the original pieces and baiscally assemble the full knife back from them. But #5 is using the original parts just modified and that's what I consider a real mod and more true to the nature of this.

For EDC, the Smock all the way - For a showpiece, the Mini Proponent. I will say that the latter certainly LOOKS like the type of work done by "Way Of Knife" but I also know there are people capable of doing their own mods themselves, so my final vote goes to the Mini Proponent. (btw - I have mildy modded my AD20.5, but it's just a subtle semi-polish to the blade - you still can see the tumbled/stonewashed look, it's just shinier - and I installed RGT Black Canvas Micarta scales - I may get a clip, but I won't go as deep carry as the one shown here - I feel it ruins the lines of the knife... still debating that one!)

@@flowers.outdoors7122 It's all good. I am about to go down the rabbit hole myself, bought a 1 foot length of 1/8" x 2" C360 Brass Flat Bar stock to practice using files and a rotary tool on to alter the finish. If and when I get good at it, I'll attack my Flytanium smooth brass scales for my factory 2nd Spydie Manix 2 XL. It's already got a Flytanium brass ball cage and a ceramic ball, and a MXG titanium deep carry clip, and I've distressed the factory DLC blade finish. I may do filework on the back of the blade after practicing on an old worn out CRKT M16 as well. Fingers crossed, hoping to have a nice unique working knife when finished! Happy New Year!
