First time fully customizing/modding a knife

First time fully customizing a knife myself

Started off as a PJ Jufule Rosie but I really loved the limited run of like 10 or 20 Oz did at the end of 2024, clearly I didn’t get one but it did spark an idea.

I got all the stuff to anodize my Fosie, color the steel parts, and stone wash the blade. I told myself if I got within 80% of what the genuine one looked like I’d consider it a success. IMHO I believe I got there.

Definitely some learnings and struggles, like I don’t know why the back and front scales came out different when I handled them 100% the same, the steel screws were super hard to get consistent (which I failed at) and it doesn’t seem super durable.

In the end I’m super happy with the way it came out with the two tone anodizing on the stone washed parts. Blade sharpened back at 15 degrees and hair popping.

Check Oz’s IG page to see the inspiration, they are my two favorite colors.

Could use feedback on making the steel color more durable and why the front and back scales are different

Note: I did lightly edit the photos to reflect what I see in person vs what the camera sees.
