Pics of customized production knives

[dwcliff]

My two production knives that have been customized are both small Ritters. One set of scales are Wilkins and the brown micartas are from Keyman. These two regularly rotate with my small insingo (no customizing needed!)

What are the measurements on those?

ZT 301 - Speedsafe functional made by yours truly

Spectacular. Allowing for the speed safe is great too.
Got any WIP or diagrams?

Easiest way to loose weight

Here is my Emerson CQC14, which has a STR framelock conversion, I removed the wave, and will eventually get rid of the blade coating, if and when I get the energy. I ultimately want to find a stone washed blade to replace the coated blade, I just don't want to buy a new knife to do it..lol This is my Mon-Fri work EDC, and it is definitely a user.

Next up is my Gen 1 ZT 550. It just went in to ZT to have the blade play addressed and it came home with a Gen 2 lock and pocket clip. I cut a choil in the blade, not as comfortable as a Strider, but roomier than an XM. After Christmas it will be sporting an earth brown scale.

How about my custom CNC machined G10 scales with Carbon backspacer ?

It's my project, and machining, and eveything From scratch

I also made some full carbon - slightly bigger than originals:

Barry H. scaled a ZT 0560 for me.

The texture may look rough but feels great in the hand. Bead blasting gives it enough grip to stay secure when wet and orange makes it easy to see.

Homemade handles for the Spyderco Pingo

Here is a pic of my newish Spyderco Southard. I have removed the lanyard tube, rounded and stonewashed the pocket clip, but most recently I decided that I wanted to take down the profile of the G10 scale so that it is more consistent with the Titanium side. Still need to bead blast it to bring out the grain.

Incredible! Nice first post!

Do you do other peoples knives?

 

[Gab3d]

Hahah truly incredible... that it was my first post I'm into knives for a long time
It's not much of making someones knife, becouse the scales fit any Griptilian without any modifications
I will make some more in CF, and maybe G10 after Xmas.
As You can see there are 2 versions right now: larger, and nearly original size.
If You have any questions just drop me a PM.

As it's pics topic...

Whose blade is that? NICE.

Sorta want to custom a Griptillian after seeing some of these sheepsfoot blades. Too bad all the talent is in the EU........somebody PM me if you are willing to sell me a set.

Gab3D PM me as you aren't reachable via PM. Put me on your list for a G10 Griptilian set.
