Beautiful work, Steve.

Got these two back from Steve! The craftsmanship on them is flawless. I'll have to wait till it's sunnier to capture the beauty of the wood on the Tuff. The contrast in the Juma scale doesn't come through as well in the pics, either. But either way, these are gorgeous.

Thanks guys!
Friar Phenn you did a great job on the acid stone wash and screw coloring for that tuff too!

B.F.U · Mar 19, 2015

That Tuff is gnarly. Awesome work.

Can you put scales on the Native 5 Lightweight, or only the g10 version?

spketch · Mar 19, 2015

I'm not sure on the lightweight. I'd need to see it disassembled.

Steve, if you're still up for it, I'd like to send my EKI Horseman to ya for some TLC. I also have a couple ideas that I wanted to bounce off you and see about their viability.

spketch · Mar 28, 2015

Certainly TTran. Send me an email at sketchenscales@gmail.com to discuss.

^^^ That is flippin' intense. Awesome work!

WOW! . . . just wow.

Steve, you are just an artist, man. I love how one side is "open" and one side is "closed." Genius.

Couple more going out. (Blade finish on junior isn't my work)

Scale arrived today and right onto the knife it went - it is everything I had hoped and more... beautiful finish and a *perfect* fit! love it!
Thanks again!
I should also note how well packaged everything was... if you are considering one of Steve's scales, you will not be disappointed!

Thanks Squam, glad to see it arrived quickly!
