Double textured Black G-10 0550 scale. Grooved and heavy bead blast to open up the pores of the G-10.
New scale is thicker and replaces the original liner.

WOW, i just found this thread, i am super impressed man, AWESOME work. Can this be done to a GERBER Applegate folder, i have one thats over 11 years old and the handle has lost some screws and such and i would love to make it look new again. Please PM with some info i would love to send you the GERBER if it could be spruced up all over again, the blade may need some sharpening but the handle is what i would really love to see a change in. Thanks in advance.

There's a new composite material suitable for liner locks and fixed blades, made by Composite Craft, Inc. called C-Tek

They were kind enough to send me a sample to see what I could do with it. Modeling the material is the new, uber cool 0560 by ZT

Let me know what you thin!

Damn Barry! You're tbe man!

A member here asked me to fabricate a new G-10 scale on his Kwerk, which would be lighter and more grippy than the original silver twill scale. You might notice a resemblance to an Atwood Solar Arc. No coincidence: Peter gave me permission to utilize his design before I did this. I always like to be above board and give credit where credit is due.

C-tek looks badass! Very nice and unique look to it!

Just completed a big job, 5 custom scales for 5 different ZT's. All the G10 variants were grooved and heavy bead blasted to open up the pores of the G10. Hated to send those back this afternoon. I might just have to pick up a 560 for myself

Here's a couple of pics.
