Need custom handle scales for folder
on: December 31, 2016, 01:52:52 AM
I need some scales made for my Mackinac Hunter, same shape as the stock ones but as thin as possible with black polished G10, I am trying to make it look like the cold steel Black Rhino.
Please let me know, thanks.

It would be quite easy to do yourself Kampfer
The scales look like they are held on with torx screws so it shouldn't be too hard to remove and replace  :pok:
Everything’s adjustable

Yea not hard at all and I tried to make some, but not as nice as I like them to be.
I am seeking professional help.

This is the best I can do, it is functional and serviceable.
But I still want smooth scales, please help.

Anyone know where I can get ultra thin, flat, polished black G10 with wood grain?
I really like this knife I just need scales for it.  :salute:

Am I the only one here who thinks stag (or fake stag, at least) looks better than G-10?

Probably something a lot of us should do, really....

Sure looks good to me- very fontiersman-ish if there is such a thing.  :D

The color won't stay on too well, anyone here knows how to dye plastic?

This project been dragged on since last April, I am glad it is finally done.
