Show your inlayed Chiefs.

It's the only one I have at the moment, micarta on the way.

What a sharp looking set. I think I like this inlay the best.

Out of curiosity, do the Inkosi inlays have the hole to the inside of the scale?

To piggy back off of this question, what purpose do the holes serve?

 

[red mag]

Aluminium Bronze inlay.
10 piece limited edt.
at BLADE iirc.

The holes come useful when you want to remove the inlays.

What red mag said.

I'm kind of curious why we've not seen wood inlays on the Inkosis yet.

I think right now we just have: bronze (extremely limited), natural micarta, black micarta, carbon fiber, and an unknown amount of red micarta for KSF.

Thanks, red mag.

Beautiful piece, Ajack.

You know how sometimes you ask a question, then get the answer and just turn to youself and say "no shit sherlock". Yeah I know that feeling right now. My only thought initially was for adhesive to escape through, but then such large holes wouldn't be necessary, as soon as I read for scale removal I completely facepalmed. Thanks for helping me with my obvious question of the day

I don't know but I'm desperately hoping for later then sooner for the sake of my wallet. Rich Snakewood Inkosi...goodbye bank account funds

I believe they are for removing the inlays without causing damage to the outer surface of the scale.

Maintenance. Basically if inlay ever needs to be replaced since the VHB tape is very strong just press on that hole from inside to pop whatever inlay is on.

Or if, say, one lacked to patience to wait for wood inlays from the mothership.
