Thanks, I should have been on this one a long time ago.DOAT you dirty dog. Nice work!
Those gray scales with black inlays are amazing. Do you know how they would look on the grey coated bugout? Is the grey a close match?Like some of you have noticed, I'm doing Bugout scales now. Sorry it took so long. Scales are fully contoured in both directions with rounded edges for comfort. Scales are the same thickness as the stock scales. They can be made in a variety of colors/materials/textures/inlays/etc. Here's some sample pictures of the few I've made so far.

Noe that I finally hot my right handed CRK. I can start carrying some of my custom benchmades (left hand carry only) again. So I took off the rock scale designs green titanium scales and put on these silver tweed. I don't remember who made them even though the guy I picked them up from told me. They are super solid and very high quality. Gonna leave the 940 in this set and look for a 943 for the rock scales.
Have to say I freakin love the silver tweed scales on the 940. I'll be dropping you a line. Quick question. Do you by any chance make scales for the Freek? Not the super freak but the original version. Been looking around for a set for mine. Definitely wouldn't mind having some more from you.I made them.
Here's some other pictures since it's been a long while since I posted anything. I have about a billion more pictures to post, but I never find time to do it. Feel free to follow my instagram, it's much more up to date and I usually post a set every day. https://www.instagram.com/deathgripscales/

Going to follow you. Hopefully I'll see the release of them when it comes out. Love to have a set. ThanksThe freeks will likely be the next scales I program, but I'm not sure when it will be. It's my busy season and with releasing the bugout scales last month I'm extremely busy with actually making the scales to fill the orders, so I don't have much time for programming new stuff. I'm hoping for sometime in spring for the Freeks... hopefully. Sorry I can't help you with that one right now.

FlytaniumWho made these?
You got an online store?Well I suppose if you were ok with the scales being completely flat I could make them even thinner and have the pivot flush with the outer scale. However being completely flat they'd end up being thicker around the edges than my contoured scales (which are already a lot thinner than stock), so the effect might be that they feel bulkier even though their thinner.
