Custom wood scales with Vic metal shield
on: June 05, 2019, 11:11:23 PM
So after removing the shield with a drop of acetone, it was repurposed on a custom wood scale. Pressed between a vice to embed it, secured with some superglue. Not completely flush, but I’m happy with the result. Gentle sand and some tung oil, and ready for use.  :salute:

Thanks all.  :hatsoff:

I think it’s walnut, the salesman was not sure.

Older Spartan (Standard) had some beat-up scales, so replaced with the new wood scales.

My first wood SAK. Has a warm and solid feel, and smells good too!  :cheers:

Max, those are beautiful! Great job and congratulations on your badge! You've got me thinking I want to try my hand at some wood scales with the shield now too. They look very classy.

Thanks VICMAN, comis, craggus2000, kamakiri, Kraken and Buzzbait.  :hatsoff:

I have to admit I’m enjoying the Wood scales and the metal inlay does look better than the standard etched shield Vic uses  :cheers:
