Hi, Sending you an Email with some questions. Your work is Beautiful!

 

[Ulf Krogstad]

Do you have any plans to offer scales for the Adamas?

I really wish he'd offer scales for Adamas also!!! Any chance of that happening @DOAT? Sorry if didn't see where you responded to this ? somewhere here already.

Hoping to add a lot of new models this year, as soon as I get caught up on orders. Adamas is admittedly low on the list though, so might be a long wait.

Here's some stuff from this week.
In case you ever wondered what translucent G10 with translucent Ctek and moonglow was like. It's pretty neat.

CF and Snakewood

Marbled CF 940-1

Black G10 with CF inlays and spacer

Purple G10 with "Intense" inlay and spacer

Orange G10 with "Hummingbird" inlay

 

[deathofallthings]

Been awhile again. Really pressed for time lately.
Forest Green G10 and Koa again

Canvas Micarta and Amboyna Burl

Carbon fiber and ironwood burl

OD canvas micarta and neon green g10 liners

Dyed maple burl with carbon fiber bolsters

Marbled carbon fiber

Black G10 with G10 inlays and spacers, one of my favorite ways to go

I'm new here. I am looking for some replacement scales for a benchmade 585. I want some simple micarda scales or wooden.

Ryan, what kind of Carbon Fiber scales are these on the 940?
They’re outstanding!

 

[deathofallthings]

The above is carbon fiber with copper powder infused into the resin I believe. It's from CarbonWaves on etsy. Seems like pretty nice stuff.

Stuff from this week.
More hummingbird inlays

OD green G10 with brown micarta inlay

Brown Micarta with Koa inlay

Dymalux

Dark Gray G10

Light Gray G10

And another fancy inlay material

 

[deathofallthings]

Didn't do much interesting this week but here's one with that new gray and a etched and tumbled blade.

^ ^ ^ re: the photo in the above post (#376)
Hi Rose and Thistle,
Just wondering if the lines on the top and along the side of the inset on the purple is a gap, is the inset not sitting flush or what is the cause?
I thought it might be a camera prob. but the other one doesn't seem to have the same inset appearance.
Just curious.
Thanks in advance.

 

[Rose and Thistle Custom]

OLd_gUY, that's about a half-hair thickness line of the adhesive used to attach the inset. The inset sits perfectly flush and no difference can be felt between it and the G10.

 

[deathofallthings]

Yeah, there's really no way to get rid of that dark line on the border. On a lot of color combos it's completely invisible but on some colors you can always see a thin border. If I made the inlays any tighter it would chip/crack/break the wood when it gets pressed in. They already go in with a mallet.

Sets are looking pretty nice together.

 

[deathofallthings]

Been awhile again.
Charcoal Gray G10 with gray dyed maple burl and s shorty spacer + spool in the back.

Maple burl with some jimping again

Rarely seen purple G10

Blue G10, not sure what was up with my camera here.

Blue and black G10

Blue maple burl with black paper micarta. Pivot looks a little funny because this was for a 556-1 and I don't have a -1 pivot laying around.

Particularly nice ironwood set I think

Regular flat set but a thumbstud chamfer was requested.

"Explorer set" black G10 with green canvas micarta... definitely my style.

And some better pictures of the set I did for my fiance now that the weather if finally getting better and we can get out for some hiking.
