You're welcome to use my photo. It's interesting idea but, I think it will make the handle "feels smaller" in the hand.Something like this maybe. You may only get 3 grooves on the Izula, but it's a rough alteration that I did real quick.
I used one of your photos as an example, so I hope that's OK. If not, let me know and I will remove it.

Looks cool but if someone with big hand I think it will make his hand closer to the blade rather away from it?Those would be some teeny fingers!
Maybe something along these lines?

Please let me know what material reacting to body heat. Sound interesting.![]()
This is still rough ...
It does look better.Yea, I guess I was really tired when I did that one.
Here's one that might work better for bigger folks.

Thought about it but, since we have the Izula II I don't think it will be practical.how about scales that are slightly larger than the izula handle, and fit over the top?
similar to the tkc scales for the esee 3/4.
These are really nice scales, Sh@rp.
I'm so glad to hear that from you. Time to get mail.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:I sent you an email, Sh@rp. We would love to see you do aftermarket scales for our Izula and sell them. We just don't want the trademarked ant on them right now since we are just starting to really build this brand and want to keep that logo in house for the time being. I hope you understand this. We're not trying to be assholes.
Thanks, for kind words.GREAT scales in here guys!
They will be available soon when I finalize the design, Thanks.Good looking scales. I would want to buy them!
Thanksoh yeah thoes look awsome
I really like your idea of material. Please shoot me an email. Thank you so much.Sharp?

Thanks for kind words.Really great work and execution! Congrats !
As for ideas - definite on the dayglow orange or green - or a traser keyring embeded for night visibility. The clear handle would also make possible a small compass within ..You could try a thin foil or shiny plate to the bottom of the clear handle to make it a rescue mirror as well..
Keep up the great work -I would love to buy any of your creations. Cheers
I see your points. But, keep in mind that I can apply these cool "impractical" ideas to some other knife if people wanted to have on their knife. So, nothing is really impractical at all, we just have to try to find out. That is all the fun in this hobby. Keep the fire burning... it only lasts one more day. Good luck to you all.Nice graphix sparky.
Would be interesting to know how much those handles are, the material sounds pretty rare and pricy... But honestly whats the real use of knowing that you had the knife in your hand by the changing colors of the handle?
TactiCool Award for sure![]()
Please let me know if I can help.Nice stuff, sh@rp. We would like to buy some from you to give away as contest prices here.
Please email me what you have found. Thanks, cool ideas my friend.Sharp? I'll be looking into how to sandwich the crystals into the scales at my local plastics shop tomorrow. I want to avoid anything toxic.
You have very nice ideas,my friend. What kind of skull is it? Does it belong to some one?Cool handles Sharp.
Kinda late to the party.....
