New scales for my Leatherman Squirt PS4!
on: September 08, 2016, 07:49:28 PM
Here's a pic of the new scales. They add about an extra 2 mm and 0.7 ounces to the thickness and weight It doesn't sound like much, but it gives the Squirt a feeling of luxury, like a fine German sports sedan.

The scales were designed by our very own Metropolicity and sell on the Shapeways 3D printing site. Mine are the stainless steel version and consist of 60% 420 steel and 40% bronze. These scales really are nice. I should point out that I chose the stainless steel material. It has about 60% 420 stainless and 40% bronze, which gives it a strong bronze tint. Shapeways also offers these scales in either polished or matte bronze and gold steel. The gold steel is the same as this, but plated in 24K gold, and the bronze is a mixture of 90% brass and 10% tin. There are also plastic spacers that allow for the addition of a straight pin and tweezers.

The first time I looked at this thread was on my phone and I thought you had made the new scales out of wood....   :oops:

Awesome scales! If I ever get around to doing a juice mod, I think I will use those ShapeWays materials, they look really nice

Not a bad idea. A nice piece of walnut burl would be really classy!

One thing I like about the stainless scales is the feel. The texture of the material and the scallops really make this piece feel nice in the hand. Perfect fiddle toy for boring meetings! Here's another pic showing the difference between the original scales and the stainless ones.

Here's how I carry it. A small nylon wallet with a zippered main pocket and two side pockets. The main pocket carries change and the two side pockets carry the Squirt and a damascus pen.
