Bunch of pictures today.
First up is some Dymalux again, full size and mini

Some more shred CF with copper

This one came out cooler than I thought, red and black layered G10 with carbon fiber inlays and spacer

This one is probably my favorite from this week. With this combination of materials I was able to polish the wood inlay and keep the canvas micarta rough, something I can't do with carbon fiber or G10. Thinking of making one for myself.

Then we have a carbon fiber and ironwood 940 I did for my brother in law and forgot to take pictures of, so pictures aren't as good as usual since we were out somewhere, couldn't get the lighting right.

Lastly, new and improved solid backspacers for 940-1 -2 -1501, not a lot different looking than before but I improved the fit, wasn't real happy with the old version. Also... glow stuff.

Details!! Details!! Details!!! Please!!! Lol. Is that glow in the dark??

Looks like Jade G10. Very nice work.

 

[ROGUE BLADEWORKS]

Halfneck is correct. It is Jade or Natural G10 and Carbon

Did something to my hand early in the week, didn't get many sets done this week. I was milling stuff but sanding and polishing was out. Managed to get this set done though. Black G10 with dark blue ctek. This is for a -1 so it will have blue spools too, wish I had some for the pictures. This is the bead blasted finish which I like. Frosted glass look on the ctek, lots of grip on the G10.

Here's a few from this week.
Silver twill with an ironwood spacer, because why not?

Lightning strike CF

Purple with neon green liners, the joker would be proud

And my favorite in a long time, forest green G10 and curly koa, super classy. Pictures do not do it justice.

You guys are clearly very talented and make some serious quality. Can i ask, have either of you ever considered making some titanium scales for the 940/943? Is that possible with the machinery and tools available to you? I would buy some from you in a heartbeat.

Hey guys, I'm looking to get some scales for my mini grip. Not a big fan of the plastic factory scales.

I saw theres maybe one option on AWT for the mini grip, a bit out of my price range anyways...

Is there any other options for some decent mini grip scales that wont break the bank?

 

[zootsuit]

Superb work, Ryan. Love that green/curly koa.

Ti scales?

DOAT just recently got a TORMACH.

haha, yes that is the plan... but it's going to be awhile before I can get it into my basement shop ( there's a crane involved), get it in place, get it reassembled, wired up, and then get some programs rewritten for Ti and other metals. It is in the works though... hopefully late summer if I'm lucky. I have a lot of orders right now, so free time is hard to find to work on the new mill.

Some more for this week.
Canvas Micarta Mini Barrage

Linen Micarta mini grip

Canvas micarta mini grip

Matching set in coyote G10

And a 4th of july 940

DOAT, sign me up for some Ti. FREEK scales!

Ok, ok, ok...

So, I worked in the bike (pedal) industry for a lifetime, and have seen countless trinkets come and go in some sort of carbon-fibre (white twill especially, thanks Specialized...) - enough that I'm a bit jaded; but, holy shit, DOAT, this is awesome:

Some more shred CF with copper

P.s.: man, equally impressive are your 585 scales with the 940-ish texture (post 1676). I'll let you know if I pick one of those knives up again, your scales would be a must-have!
