Snake Skin Camo Spyderco Manix

Post by WhitefeatherTexas »

I recently did this pair of custom scales for a client that lives in my same town in Texas. Its multicam G10 with diagonal groove texture. What say you?

Looks amazing! :) Very nice move away from the "normal" g10 patterns you see out there. And that multicam looks incredible that way!

Very cool. With a tiny file the second one could become piano keys.

Nicely done! I really like all the alternative textures and patterns in G10 and Micarta we are seeing these days.

hey whitefeather,
that's a very original look you've come up with.
i like the color change from the contouring and it looks like the grooves would enhance purchase on the knife.
excellent work!
looking forward to see what you come up with next.
later,
don

Terrific looking pattern and I really like the other work you have on your site. The Blue G-10 Emerson Commander is a great looking pattern.

He did a great job. I wanted him to make something that reminded me of my middle son who has autism and is fascinated with snakes. The g10 looks great, I am extremely happy with it!
