Browsing eBay, I found this SAK with custom scales......although I'm not a fan of the F word (I blacked it out as to not offend anyone), I do like the rustic, urban downtown vibe these scales have, especially the exposed brick on the front scale.
Anyone else like them, or dislike them? Just curious. The knife is a Huntsman.

I normally avoid any tool that's been customised - however I really do like that.
It's almost a steampunk attempt - loving the brickwork
-
Very cool, but not for me.

If it didn't have the brickwork, I would have probably passed on it.

I get that. I have a love/hate for it, but ultimately I figured it was worth $25, just to see it in person, maybe make a nice prop in a photo shoot.

The exposed brick is cool looking. :D

Wish it was all exposed brick.

I enjoy reading the different views of these scales. :tu:

Do you have a link?

I think those scales are very nice depending on the price
It might be worth the gamble you never know it might be done properly :tu:

$25 + $2.50 shipping. Seemed reasonable enough.

Definitely worth a gamble for that price :tu: :like:

That's what I thought, plus they're on a Huntsman, so there is value there.

Tried to find it again. No luck yet

Wow, they're atrocious!
This is the kind of thing I used to design - when I was eleven!

Thanks for trying.

If I end up disliking it, I'll probably have a give-away on it.

I think you hit the nail on the head here. Even if you don't like the scales, you could swap them for normal scales, and still have your money's worth :cheers:

Oh yes I dig these apocalyptic type of scales... I wish mine was copper... acid / black washed even gives it a nicer look... If I’m not mistaken, These type of scales was initially offered by Woro Knives...(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190410/9bf8b3bf14bdfbab74246fa67a67c392.jpg)
Oh and I know the guy that personally did your scales Lisa... It’s the same guy that did mine...

Really?
Someone told me these were made by Dwi Kurniawan.
-
I like 'em - But also don't like the f word - So I would be modding the modded scales when they arrived ;)
I'm thinking a prison wall with bullet holes from a breakout attempt, plaster fallen off (better like that than all brick IMHO) and a cell window
And for $25 - You can't go wrong - That's not far off the regular price for a Huntsman
-

Yes Nick... Dwi is the person I’m talking about...
Woro knives started the trend though...

Ok! :D

For God sake man, why can't you just say what you mean and stop pusyfooting... Oh, wait... :cheers:
Yeah, I have to agree - the design's a bit clumsy for my liking, but they're interesting all the same. :salute:

Thank you all for the replies, it made for a fun read this morning.

Not a fan of the F word even when the F word is modified yet we can still clearly see its the F word.
Very cool scales otherwise. I agree they look steampunk/post apocalyptic. Price is good too.
-
What about making the F a B :dunno:
-
Big fan of the F word - the scales are a nice talking point - what are they made of FB?

Thanks for your thoughts Aloha! :cheers:

Turning the F into a B is a thought, but I think I will leave it as is since it sort of fits the mood of the knife. :salute:

I don't know yet...maybe copper, I doubt titanium. I'll update when I know. Hopefully copper as it will be my Shawshank Copper. :woohoo:

Without it we'd be ucked.

Shawshank arrived yesterday, fits right in with two of my other custom scaled SAKs.

Rub 'em down with the old angle-grinder and they might be ok...

Looks like brass Lisa... Copper would be reddish...

I've warmed to them - they look much better in your pic than they did in the original. They're interesting.

I've enjoyed reading all of the posts.
I was reading up on brass vs copper and Jaya, yes they must be brass and FuzzB, yes copper alloy. :salute: :tu:
