A guy wants me to build him a knife with scales similar to these but I can’t find anything like them anywhere. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I don't think c-tek, might be something else with resin with similar designs. Peruse this site for knife scales...please delete if against site rules... https://www.etsy.com/shop/JTuttleDesigns?ref=view_receipt§ion_id=31011620

It is honeycomb aluminum that has been "crushed" or pressed into a mold, and filled with some sort of resin. Maybe even home made.
The Indestructible did a DIY video on making it.
Search "Aluminum Honeycomb Knife Scales" and you will find hundreds of choices.

Thanks guys. It’s not ctek, but something similar to that. The white end is actually glow in the dark. The glow in the dark is not a requirement, and I think the ctek will work if I can’t find an exact match. I’ll keep looking for a day or two and if I can’t find it, I’ll go with the ctek.
