Thank you! Model is Leaf Jumper! Ordered Fat Carbon Dark Matter Gold for Endura 4 too. Suingab(G10.it) does an excellent job with these scales and back spacer (same material) not much wiggle room on these Seki City models for anything out of tolerance. Going to order a set for Police 4 LW to complete the K390 serrated models I’ve got.Remind me of this model from Seki-City? And where did you find those scales for it? Great looking knife and pic btw.


Nice. I think I've looked at that site before when I was looking for scales for knives that don't have loads of 3rd party support. I like the gold cf.Thank you! Model is Leaf Jumper!

That backspacer isI contacted Michael Zieba to ask a couple of questions about this S3.
From Michael Zieba:
Yes, I remember, only three pieces.
The micarta from which the presentation side scale is made clogged all our cutting tools.
At that time I did also yellow paper and brown Bakelite.
That was the last titanium copper plating project.
I think it was in 2017-2018.
I’m not able to make that anymore because of NY State regulations ( plating prices and acids ).
Yes. Studio Ostasz in New York.
Back then, they were doing laser engraving and raw casting for me until 2020, when I started my own casting and I bought a 50W laser engraver.
It's a very well-made knife.
Hard to see them now a days.
Thank You for Your email.
Michael ZIEBA.

Thanks, Dave.That backspacer is![]()




Making me jealous......Yes, it's a Sickness...owning three of the same model.
Pictured here is the bronze one I just got (#72)...pictured with a buffed model that I've had for some time (#253).
When I first saw this model, I thought, "No way".
After getting my first one, I knew I'd be buying more.
It's aesthetically balanced (small details repeating), as well as feeling GREAT in hand.
The third one...that's serial #2 and it doesn't see the light of day.
