Double Reptilian....what does it mean?!?!?

I was playing with this concept for a while, but nobody would let me go crazy on an untested idea....so I decided to experiment on my own ZT. Guess Im the lucky one who gets to edc this bad boy:-)

In a tribute to one of my favorite designs and my favorite knives,I basically blended the double diamond pattern with the reptilian pattern to make what you see here...the "double reptilian". Add to that a bolster made of unidirectional carbon fiber...all this with a layered liner make a really beautiful scale. Speedsafe is fully functional.

Close up of the G10, hand sculpted...it almost looks 3d machined.

The multiple layers of grooves give it a nice rounded contour, similar to factory...and I added in a thin black g10 liner to really set it off.

She's a beaut! I've been hearing a lot about your scales and have caught a few of your youtube videos recently. I just picked up a ZT 0121 in trade and have been toying with the idea of getting matching scales made for it and my 350. Do you have a site or link to pics of your work to give me some ideas for patterns and colors? I really like this double reptilian pattern,but would like to see what else you have done and if possible an idea of costs. Great job and thanks!
