There are a few stipulations. I work with G-10 and Micarta/Phenolic, but I don't work in CF or metals (Ti, bronze, copper, etc). I'd be willing to try out Kirinite or ResinWood should the winner want a handle made out of those materials. I've only done polished and Anso-textured finishes before, but again, am willing to experiment with other finishes should the winner want something different. My supplies come from USAKnifeMaker, so material colors are limited to what they offer. I also reserve the right to veto any material requests (so no, I won't be dropping $50 on the Westinghouse White Paper Micarta material to make your scales).
You want Bengal Tiger stripe G-10 with purple G-10 liners and Anso-style texturing? I can do that. Ivory paper Micarta with black G-10 bolsters and no liners with a polished finish? I can do that. Neon green and black Anso-textured handles with polished black and tan ResinWood bolsters on double layered liners of hunter orange and pink? Sounds ugly, but I can do that. The picture below is an example of the scales I made for my Swick 3.
Contest will end Jan 5th at 11:59PM PST and winner will be chosen via random.org. I will contact the winner via PM, so make sure your inbox has room.
So, how does one win such a prize? Simply do the following:
1. Post a picture of one of your Spydercos in your hand. A knife isn't very useful until it leaves your pocket and is in your hand, so let's get them out and see how they fit your hand.
2. Be a Spyderco forum member prior to Dec 2013.
Good luck to you and if you don't have a Swick 3 and no use for scales, then check out my other GAW for a lanyard: http://www.spyderco.com/forums/showthre ... anyard-GAW
