Hey Robert, could you etch a Leatherman knurled screw wrench into a Ti scale, or a pocketwrench?  :think:

Probably. Those are pretty fine cuts to make though.

Must have been almost like working on jewelry adding the tiny copper cross to the scale.  I've always liked that model.  Nice work!

Ive got a slightly easier way to do it now.  I cut that cross hole about 80% though, then just hammer a small piece of copper into the space, and sand the top.  Works well since copper is so soft, not as easy with brass.

I would buy that one if I had the money (and if it had a corkscrew instead of the Phillips).

Madre de Dios, those are stunning...!
I can only echo the most common reply:  :drool:
This one time, I made a custom scale, from epoxy putty... a (very) small step on the way to water-cut, copper-inlaid scales  ;)
Beautiful work, Syph.

This took alot of hours today.  Both machining and hand finishing.  But its done and it works.  Every single function a normal champ has, not missing anything.

This champ took a full 1" pivot so I joined 2 of the half inch ones together.

I was going to ask the same question.  That thing is thick!

And as usual, nothing short of absolutely amazing.  Such a beautiful piece.
