I just wanted to share a few recently finished Tuffs and wanted some feed back :)
As always these were made by hand by me :)


 
As said in Russia - "You have golden hands"! Very beautiful scales.

Ho-ly-crap. That first one is just perfect, and I'm not even too fond of the Tuff in general.
 
ERIC.. You need to send those to "The Rocks" so I can get a closer look and fondle them too!! NICE!!! John
 
Thank you fellas :)

Hopefully when I get some time to make a cool one for my tuff.

Not a laminate. I created it with some blue twill.
It's hard to tell because from the side view blue twill is darker than look at it head on.
 
They are beautiful, really nice work. How long approximately does it take you to make one?
 
I'll be honest, I have always thought the Tuff was a butt ugly knife.

Somehow you have managed to beat the ugly out of the Tuff.

Great work!

Well said!

Those are truly beautiful. That blue/black CF is stunning...how much do you charge for that?
 
I don't personally like the bolstered look much in general but love the second one.
 
Those are beautiful. I love the backspacer on the first one - it really makes the blue/black scale stand out even more.
 
Holy crap!! I wasn't interested in the the Tuff prior to this thread. I do love that bolstered blue and black but it's a phenominal job with both!!! I'll have to look at the Tuff a little closer now.

Thanks a lot!!!:grumpy::D
 
Erics Tuff scales improve the ergonomics over the too-thin stock display scale, and the lack of texturing isn't really a problem due to the handle ergonomics anyways. And the geared backspacer really suits the knife as well IMO.
