I really appreciate the positive feedback on my work. As a one man show these are the things that keep me going!

Much appreciation for you all,

Chris
Very nice looking work.

I sent you an email, about making a set for my wife.

Hi Chris, (Trifectcustomshop)

Welcome to or forum.

I got your email. Thanx much for the kind words. I couldn't find a direct email address so I thought to respond here. I did go onto your website and you've really got some beautiful stuff. We appreciate your efforts to make our models more eye appealing.

The inlays are are beautiful.

Glad to hear the message was received! Thank you for the compliments :D I am still working on a professional email address linked to the website. But for now chrisbrom44@gmail.com will have to do. I am glad to be a part of the Spyderco community!

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.

sal
Thank you! We are just over the moon about it.

By the looks of it, there is definitely enough real estate on the Python for an inlay!

Hi Jclark,

Welcome to our forum.

Hey Chris,

How are you handling the scales. Can I send you my Watu and have you install new scales? or do you send the scales to the customer? I think I want a couple of Watu's with wooden scales, one to carry and one to show in the SFO store.

Hey Sal,

Sorry for the delay. I can do either but the most cost effective would be just to send out the scales to you and do the install yourself, but I am willing to perform the install no problem.

That would be awesome if you showed one at the SFO! I would be very appreciative of the exposure. I can send you an invoice for the two scales if you provide me an email address. You can DM me the email. What types of wood are you looking at getting?

Thanks again,

Chris

I’ve seen a few wooden aftermarket scales on Spydies and I have to admit, I never really cared for them, But WOW does that watu look good in those new pants! Great work here! The wood really complements this design excellently.

Well, I am a carbon fiber fan...but these scales are AMAZING! I'm going to have to consider these once my Watu shows up! Holes or no holes is the question...
