Pretty sure I got the first of Rival's orange CF, and I must say that I absolutely love it. Ever since I got my 0301 (from another source), I have been trying to track someone down to make me a matching 0350. Not only is the work top notch, but using the CF to replace both the original scale and steel liner makes this thing a true featherweight. Without further ado:

I remember when I joined this forum it was almost impossible to find someone willing to make scales for ZT's. It is so nice to have people like Rival and Kryptoglow around to make our knives a little different than the rest. Thanks again Keeth! :cool:
 
Those turned out nice! I use it in my shop sometimes. Definitely not the cheapest material, but man it's worth it:thumbup:

He did a nice job on those.

You should polish the hardware for them! Wouldn't make them look out of this world!

One of these days I am going to buy a dremel so I can do stuff like that. It would look amazing! :cool:

Cool look, but doesn't removing the liner compromise some of the legendary ZT strength?

Probably, but I've got plenty of other beefy ZTs if strength is what I'm after. This one was made for good looks and light weight. ;)

Just curious, how come you left the stock black scale on the other side rather than a thinner matching scale?

(1)Price, orange CF isn't cheap and working with it isn't easy. (2)I wanted it to match my 0301 which has a black Ti locking side. :thumbup:




To everyone else, thanks for the compliments. I just can't put this thing down!:D
 
Nice pics.... I'm really glad you like it. That one turned out AMAZING:cool:

I would like to add regarding strength...There are plenty of knives on the market that use a solid G10 scale, skyline being among the most common. With the strength of the G10 is several layers of carbon fiber bonded throughout to add strength. That is a 3/16 slab, very strong!
