Got my 0560cbcf!!! WooHoo!!!

[SpyderPhreak]

j/k (I can't afford one of those anymore now that I'm unemployed anyway)

Sorta though. I DID just get this LSCF scale from Rival. I asked for a relatively large, smooth bolster to show off the cf weave with the bronze wires, then some closely-spaced grooves toward the rear for grip. While I had the knife partly apart, I decided to go ahead and make the lock bar tighter too. I musta gotten one of the knives that ZT tuned for the girly-men among us who cannot use the flipper when there is any detent strength whatsoever. That is fixed now!

(shot this pic from the bolster end to show the gooved pattern better)

This knife, while she was already pretty darned sweet and sexy before, just oozes lustworthiness now!!! I gues you might call this her "little black dress". This scale turned out AMAZING!!! Thank you so much Keeth! Enjoy the pics everyone!!!

I was about to be like WTF, but nice scales I saw the vid rival made on them. Looks real nice.

You prick! had me all excited for a minute!

That looks awesome. Had me going about the cbcf.

My wallet just had a nervous breakdown, thanks!

Deep breaths... deeeeeeeep breaths

THAT was cruel! Have to let my blood pressure return to normal now.

Looks great thought!

It really sucks that I checked every knife sellers' website before I actually read this thread. Luckily I have them all bookmarked for the 0777 anyway.

 

[SpyderPhreak]

I *knew* that would get some of y'all worked up!!! Heh heh.

(cruel, I know!)

 

[Thrill]

That is an awesome looking scale.

He's recovered enough to start on scales again? Good to hear!

 

[MKULTRABLIZZARD]

dude does solid work. that looks great.

 

[SpyderPhreak]

He's recovered enough to start on scales again? Good to hear!

Maybe. He mentioned in his video that it took him ~3x longer to do the grooves than usual because it was really hurting his fingers. I'm thinking if Keeth hadn't already had this in work when he got hurt, he wouldn't have done it right now.

 

[TotalDbag]

You're mean.

But nice scales, I might have to get some CF scales for one of my knives.

 

[jkwithawave]

I think those are the nicest scales of his I've seen.

For anyone wondering (and since I've been asked), Krytox is Dupont's version of Fluorinated grease (containing PTFE). I used a tiny, tiny bit on the bearings as there had been some there from the factory.

Keeth did great with that scale.
But, the CBCF trick was mean!

 

[freewheeling]

Where'd you get the blue scale?

Keeth did great with that scale.

He did an excellent job!!! It was mean, I know, but y'all smiled anyway, right?

Where'd you get the blue scale?

That's a Kryptoglow GITD scale that I had on it before.

Hmm looks familiar haha

 

[SpyderPhreak]

Yep, that pic was part of the inspiration for mine! :thumbup:
