Damn……why didn’t i order an extra set of denim scales for my shivs? Those are awesome on that knife!

DEK 3 in Jorts.

Spent some time on the edge freshening it up. Had it lasering paper last night, sliced through is so clean and easily like it wasn’t even there.

I didn’t realize there was a thread for this… My new Magnacut EDC wearing Jorts.

 

[Redclay]

Haha yep. I had to bring it back from the dead!

Surprised there's no gold screws with the denim being shown off here. My next CPK order (if the angels smile upon me again) will probably be buffed denim with the gold Ti. I think that will look slick.

I made the scales on the Ontario from an old pair of Black Wrangler jeans.

Jo the Machinist recommends against buffing the blue denim. Trust her.

The Blue Denim looks terrible (dirty) buffed. If anyone who said they wanted it buffed still wants it buffed you will have to make sure to tell me. Otherwise I am not buffing it. Trust me.

Good to know. That's a shame, though. I've seen some that looks fantastic. Maybe different results from different stock suppliers.

Some internet pics of what looks buffed to me:

I thinks those are pretty accurate to what Jo means by “dirty”. They aren’t bright like the unbuffed.

Updated scales choices
Please note, Vintage and Ebonite are not shown. I also have a blue linen on order (since November...)

Also, typically ALL G10 is buffed and ALL TeroTuf is not. Micarta is grippier not buffed, but perhaps more attractive buffed.

Hahaha yes un buffed

 

[stjones]

What scales are these? Blue Terotuff?

 

[Redclay]

They do darken up a lot and mine look “dirty” after a lot of use. I think it gives them a nice aged and worn look! Just posting for reference if anyone is thinking about getting some blue denim scales.

Satin, gold screws, un buffed jorts

These are the bright blue micarta that are apparently such a PITA to machine, that they’re no longer offered.
