Custom handle for Strider SMF & SNG (PIC heavy)

pkjames · Jun 21, 2014

My friend Czer is a knifenut in China who loves using his exotic CNC machines (their normal job are to make mobile phone parts) to make his own handles. He recently showed me some of his work, and I was highly impressed. Thought I'd share it here with you guys

Material used are heat treated TC4 titanium and C93200 bearing bronze, and the bullet is real stuff as well.

Thanks for looking

I'm especially a fan of the finish on that first one

Amazing craftsmanship, the first 2 are defiantly my favorite.

Bigfatts · Jun 21, 2014

Wow, those are pretty sweet!

pkjames · Jun 21, 2014

thanks guys. AFAIK he spent a great deal of time and resource into all these awesome handles / scales. His quite proud of his work and asked me to pass his "thanks for looking" message.

I'd post more of his work along the way

I asked him today, he was surprised that his work is loved by you guys here. He just has sooo many different knives and he asked what maybe more popular? he may actually make a few more when the next "toying cycle" kicks in. I suppose you all love titanium stuff?

tks again

chintofong · Jun 25, 2014

Can he do some handles for the SMF? I would say Ti is the material of choice.

Amazing work!
Wouldn mind dressing up my Southard with one of those... esp the Umnumzaan like stripe pattern look great.

Yeah, I love Ti as well. He was saying that one of those "limited handmade version" is really just a blade with titanium scales and doubles the price. So he made his own version, lol

yeah, I remember the southard scales were the first series of scales he made, so he made quite a few of them (all grabbed my his friends).

I told him that BF fellas are interested in his work, he said while he has no problem selling a few of them, he doesn't read/speak english and myself is located in australia with non of his scales. maybe in the future i can make something happen
