wilkins grips

j2coe · Sep 17, 2009

Do all the spacers for the wilkins grips for griptilians clash with the grips? I have a pair of Ti in a pleasant blue and the back spacer is glaring orange. I thought I'd seen pics of orange grips with black spacers but I can't find any off hand. Any reason for the contrast as opposed to coordinating bright/bright, subdued/subdued?

The most subdued backspacer they offered was black, here pictured on the top knife with green and black G-10 scales. The black spacer was also available with black linen micarta, black anodized aluminum and a few natural titanium scales.

I like that black a lot better than this orange one. I guess I'll have to make a new Ti one to match. or trade the orange one to someone with orange scales.

Try Moore Cutlery. Gary might have some extra backspacers to sell.

I ordered some black ones for my full size Ritter and he sent me both red and blue backspacers.

Both look HOT!

My orange Wilkins for my Ritter came with a black spacer. j2coe, can you post a pic of your orange spacer?

A little time with some fine sandpaper would make that spacer a nice natural aluminum color if you want.

Personally I like the orange.

I just bought a set of swimming pool green g11 scales from Kevin Wilkins, and they have a matching backspacer. I prefer not to have the colours clash. AFAIK the only colour for the g11 backspacer is swimming pool green.
