Hey all.
Looking for some blue jean denim micarta scales for a ZT 0640. I'd like the reveal on the Ti liners to be the same, I love the look and feel the knife has with the scales not covering all of the Ti. However, I want the scales to be just a bit thicker so there can be some bushcraft-esque contouring. Slight palm swell, lateral crowning, thinning between palm swell and pivot area, then thicker again at the pivot. This should mostly be on the show scale, the lockside scale needs to be flat under the clip (using a Ti clip from MXG Gear) and can be contoured to match the show scale near the pivot. This contouring doesn't need to be as extreme as an actual bushcraft knife, just a subtle improvement to the ergonomics. I just don't like flat handles. The exact scale thickness I'll leave to your judgment. Scale screw holes will need to be countersunk as needed to use the original scale screws.
I do not want a polished finish, leave it grippy.
I'd prefer to work with someone that has a ZT 0640 already, but if you need me to send you mine we can do that. I'm in California, would like to work with someone stateside to keep shipping simple.
Thanks,
Zack
