Same here, when I saw SG post her's I loved it (and still do) But, I think to keep the heritage of the knife I may lean towards keeping the holes. But like you, that's the only reason I haven't ordered some myself yet!

i keep putting them in my cart with the holes for the reason you mentioned but i look at that hole delete scale and think it looks so clean that i hesitate

I got mine a few days ago. I love it. :)

I actually like the cf/g10 texture but a wood scale would not look out of place.

No matter what you order, you’ll want the other one! Just do it.

Go with the hole delete and then you can always put the original scales back on when you are feeling "holey" lol

I succumbed and bought the figured koa WITH holes. I like the CF, but these are just too gorgeous to pass up! Can't wait to get these!!

Chris did a great job on the scales he did for my Watu.

That is an absolutely beautiful set up. I just ordered my Watu a few minutes ago. Now to order one of these scales. I am new to Spyderco and I can't wait to get my hands on one.

Welcome to the forum! What a way to start your Spyderco collection~ :D
All these awesome photos make me want a Watu... but let me try to get a DLT Smock first :rolleyes:

Hi Aldiggi,

Welcome to our forum.

sal

Thank you so much. Very happy to be part of the family.

Alright!! This was such a cool project! Here is the turnout of Sal's scales. I decided to make some custom Spyderco themed inlays as well as giving a sample of the new UV high gloss finish that is now an option for the Koa Watu scales. Sal is having three of them on display in the Watu case a the SFO. I'm honored to have my work shown there!

Please leave some comments and let me know what you all think!

Check out my Instagram or Facebook page @trifectcustomshop for videos of the scales mounted to the Watu.

Have a great weekend all!

They look great! Now get working on mine that I ordered last week :p

Those are gorgeous! I think I prefer keeping the holes from the original design, but I also really like the solid bug logo.

Hi Julia,

I'm sure Chris could inlay a python. Just to make it harder. :p

Hey Chris,

Congratulations to you and the Mrs. The only things that are really new are babies and tomorrow.

A ball python Watu...that I could not resist! :D

Those look amazing! Well done, Chris!

It's getting harder and harder to resist getting one of these

Thos scales looks amazing

Gorgeous!

A whole Watu case at SFO? I’d love to see a pic!
