Is anyone other than Cuscadi making micarta scales for the 056X?

I'm planning to add a micarta scale to my 0561, but have been unable to find anyone other than Cuscadi that is making them. Does anyone know who else building custom micarta scales?

Rival1314 on the forums, tuffthumbz on youtube, barry h. Lots of others here on the forum. Cant think of them from the top of my head.

I don't think Rival is working with Micarta... is he? That'd be pretty fantastic.

Im pretty sure its on the same level with g10. Dunno for sure. I just knew he makes scales but I'll go ahead and ask

Hey all,

I am willing & able to do canvas & linen micarta.....here's a sample

That micarta looks great! It's tempting me away from wanting a G10. I'm thinking a nice simple Olive Drab would look pretty nice, I'm a monochromatic kinda person.

As of this afternoon I have a black linen micarta scale on order from Rival!

I don't have my micarta scale in hand yet, but it is on the way from Rival! Here are some pics he sent, and he mentioned that the micarta layers will show more with time and use:

I have been making a few olive drab micarta scales for my 550 and 561. I find g10 a touch easier to work with, but like the grip and look of micarta better.

Here are photos of the micarta scale that Rival shipped to me. I have to say that I couldn't be happier with his workmanship or customer service and would recommend his scales to anyone.

I'm wondering how that would look with Ivory Paper Micarta, hmmmmm.
