Desert tan, black screws if possible . Design?

In order to keep the cost down I prefer to have one color of choice (your vote) for this batch. the SS screws I have are not black. I can use black screws but they're not SS. I think we have to vote to see what we like. Designs are one of those two I posted above, please pick one.:D
 
OMG those are nice. For a moment I was all excited thinking this thread was for the Necker.
 
Can the OP add a poll to the first post? Suggested colors Desert Tan/Coyote Brown, OD Green, Black. If not I'm down for either OD or Coyote brown/tan. Black screws would be good for me also, ss or not.
 
I think Sh@rp did an awesome job. I'm very happy with the results and the turn around on people interested. I'll put a poll up in the thread for colors and screws, I guess. What would be the benefit of SS over the normal black? Also, I'm leaning toward the carabiner hole model. Should I include that in the poll aswell?

Tried to add a poll but it won't let me. Perhaps someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong? If I can't get a poll running, we'll have to post our vote in a posts, and tally them up. Thanks guys.

You know...I'm having very hard time deciding which one I want, even. I thought I wanted OD green with the carabiner hole model, but now that I kept staring at those pictures I just can't make up my mind. You guys should start posting which you want, so then I can make a decision aswell. :)

Ok, I'm down for either Tan or OD and The large lanyard hole.

Lanyard or carabiner? Lanyard is the small hole, carabiner is the large one which is same size as the loop in the BK14 grip. I'm leaning toward the carabiner one aswell. I could care less about screws, because I don't think it will matter aslong as you don't try to over torque the screws down and strip them or something. I'm still stuck on color though.
 
if not previously mentioned, i'd be all over a lexan set. probably G10 too. with a carabiner hole.

i should see if there are sources on CPF or elsewhere to get tritium beads.

That sounds like an awesome idea. I never really thought about tritium beads but that would be nice. I can't count the times I've been out in the woods in dim light and lose my blade in the pinestraw covered ground. That's pine forest for ya, though. Good thinking, man.

okay, i re-found that source: google "B@rt's Tritium Thread Part Deux" and you'll find it :>

Sh@rp will be amused by the guy's name, if nothing else. various glowrings / beads / raw supplies with specs listed.

Also, check out a material called "strontium aluminate" - can be bought as powder (carve custom channels inside clear lexan, fill with powder and acrylic or epoxy, and voila, super custom glowing stuff); this is the ultimate chargeable quantum emitter that i know of. sunlight or blacklight charge for a few hours will probably out glow tritium for the first 4-6 hours, then decays over 12 hours. advantage: cheap, shockproof, non-toxic. fun stuff.

Biner hole. Sorry. Whats the price difference between lexan and G10?

Price is the same regardless of material. (I like to keep thing simple, labor is actually expensive for any CNC machine shop) :D

I know B@rt from CPF, he's my brother J/K. I might have to make some clear scales to try the glowing stuff later (sorry, not this batch folks). Thanks for the info Bladite.:)

So, what is the difference between lexan and G10? I noticed the one with the lanyard hole had a kind of textured look, where as the carabiner model looked smooth. Are they both lexan or did I miss something and one is G10?

About the tritium thing, we could always just do that sort of work for ourselves. Save Sh@rp the time.
 
Based on design, I am out. Sorry folks.

G10 and Lexan? Short answer- G10 is tougher material than Lexan and available in many color but transparent and translucent color. (please Google for more info). Both of the designs will have the texture on them when done. They're both Lexan. I don't have any G10 in stock at this time. When we got our votes done. It will take time for me to order G10 and tools. I might have to make new fixture if the 3/8" thick G10 costs too much, so far for 24" X 48" X 1/4" thick G10 will cost about $400 per sheet (please Google G10 cost, then tell me if you found it cheaper). Not counting tools that I have to buy and labor, I might loosing money for this run. But I'm a man with my words, so as long as I have 10 people interested in this then, I will make it happen. I won't ask for any deposit because I believe Beckerheads are trust worthy.:)
 
You Might want to make a few extra for people that May pick up an Eskabar in the future!:D
 
I've read this thread twice, and I'm still not sure what is being offered.
Sh@rp, as I expressed to you via email, I am interested in Lexan or G10.
If you're definitely doing a G10 run, I may wait.
If you're offering the clear Lexan this run, I may bite.

Question: is it possible to get the large carabiner hole AND the grippy checkering?
