I'm looking to get some Anso textured G-10 scales for my Spyderco Caly III and Manix.

Who should I go to for this? I know that Brad of Southard Knives (formerly Tricod on the Spyderco forums) used to do exactly what I want. But I'm not sure if he does this service anymore.

Are there any other knife makers that offer this service?

Here are some pictures of Brads work:

Do you have to send in your knife for that? or can you just order for it?


for sebenza scales, he seems to be just making them from one he has.

for anything else, he would need the original knife as a template to fabricate the scale. if he doesn't have the model you want, there is no alternative but to send it in.
 
I see, thanks. I really love his work but I think sending in knives to him is a bit of a problem since I'm in the Philippines and I don't want to take a second risk of losing the knife to customs(customs here often have sticky fingers). I'm waiting for a manix 2. I sure hope he has a template for that. Any idea how much those cost?
 
hi guys, i can do all this no prob. and i do need your knives as templates. so far ive been doing all the sebenzas and some striders because those are the knives i have. but im always looking to buy new models. especially militaries calys sages and any other popular models. of course id prefer old beat up or even broken ones(keep the cost down).

heres a link to my photobucket page.

peace all.
 
Wow! peter r, I just checked out your photos and those scales are just awesome! I've got to get some.
 
Hi Peter,

Thanks for the response. I do have a question though, since the Caly III uses pinned construction, would it be possible to make replacement scales?
