Made some handles for my Swick3. 1/8" black/grey layered G-10 on .060" red G-10 liners. This is my first attempt at Anso-style texturing and it was far easier than I thought and I'm extremely pleased with how they turned out. I made the scales pretty thin and, as a result, had to grind down the screws a bit on the pivot bolts so that they would fit. This was fun to make and I'm excited to make another set for my other Swick3!

Nice work, Kyle. I like the contrast with the red liners!
The difference between the Swick 1, 2, and 3 are really significant - I hadn't realized how much they evolved until I looked at Reject's photo. Thanks for posting that!
Here's an old Swick-Pic from when I put purpleheart scales on my Swick2. These are "knockdown" scales that are secured with pivot bolts and not epoxied in place.
