So many plans, so little time and money....

Wasn't sure I wanted to mess with it, mostly because of the price of the thing, but for me it has made it so much more useable that it was worth it.

Chokwe with copper scales

[Jazz]

That Chokwe looks great, but what does it weigh? A couple pounds? I pick up my old Buck 112 and can't imagine carrying it.

That is super cool 762cal! I can't wait to see it with a patina! :D

Hey Jazz,

Truth to be told, I kinda dislike it with how it weigh. Since I really liked the Chokwe because it is lightweight :D
I don't have any weigh scales but I assume it is 200 grams (about the weigh of the Szabo folder)

Hey Spencer,

Yes, will post pics after the patina formed ! :)

Is that Cuscadi work? Or did you do it yourself? :)

Hi apollo,

I did the scales for the Stretch and Manix myself. I can't justify the price of Cuscadi scales, but at $6 a set for G10 and less for Micarta, I can easily afford to make my own scales. I use a drill press, a band saw, and a belt sander plus some hand tools. It takes about 3 to 4 hours of work per set of scales, but it is really fun to do.

Not perfect as cnc, but you make a really great job with your hands! For me it looks really cool!

[762cal]

that's awesome work, Golden. The color combo on the stretch is very nice!

Thanks guys! Next I am working on green micarta for a Cruwear Manix and white linen with a copper bolster for a Native 5. When the Roc comes in, it gets purple scales. Weird knife = weird scales, right? :D
