Where do you go for pimp-jobs?

[DeadFall27]

Hey all,

I established my home in the traditional section of the forums for the last year or so, never really leaving; I never really got into OHO's like I did slippies. I had a few, and I liked them a lot, but I loved traditionals more. Well, Spyederco has sucked me back in, and I am going through the paces to warming up to the company again


Anyway, i want to get a Manix 2 (I reaaallyyy want to wait for the lil' lionspy, but I cant help it anymore. I kinda have a soft spot for the manix anyway) but don't like the scales on them. I would love a set of really rough finished, sculpted, red canvas micarta scales for it, but everyone I talk to isn't pimping knives or making scales anymore...where do you guys go to pimp your spydies? I apologize if this is the wrong section, but I figured I would ask here as it is manufacturer specific and I know some guys wont or dont do spyderco scales for the manix.

Thanks for reading all, I hope you have a good one!

Cuscadi is the name I hear most often for custom Syderco scales, lots of great pics on their site. A lot of forums members here also make scales. Hopefully someone will chime in. There is also "The Custom Shop" section of the Exchange here on Bladeforums where you can look for someone to contact.

Are you willing to send your knife? The ones I deal with will need the knife to fit the scales.
