Re: Handle Scale Vendors
It melts in the hand with the generous contouring.

I really want to try a set of their new Manix2 XL scales! They look like they'll correct a few issues I have with the XL. I'll still try and get a set after the holidays, even if they're called the "Bananix" Manix.

Re: Handle Scale Vendors
I bought some micarta scales for my Delica from there. They are pretty nice, I like them quite a bit. Shipping took a little over a month to the U.S. though.riclaw wrote: ↑Sun Dec 24, 2023 10:33 pmAnyone order from here?

Re: Handle Scale Vendors
I recommed this guy, very nice custome scales from czeck republick. He has a lot of police scales made, probably other full size models as well, just see his posts. I have only blucarta tena scales made by him, but its perfect. 60 euros, for scales, installation, and sharpening plus delivery.vivi wrote: ↑Sun Nov 26, 2023 9:47 pmShame none of these people have a habit of building scales for full sized models.
For example, browsed RGT's site and didn't see scales for Yojumbos, Millies, Manix XL's, Police etc. Just a bunch of skinny ultem stuff for small folders I don't even own like the Para 3.
Oh wait I did see a set of Native Chief screws for $50

They fit perfectly, are easy to swap in, and really change the character of the knife

Re: Handle Scale Vendors
Is anyone making scales to replace the original FRN scales on Manix 2 LW ?
I hate so bad the OEM scales on Manix 2 LW

Re: Handle Scale Vendors
80 bucks shipped for a set of micarta Endela scales with a milled pattern is exactly what he quoted me. They're in the works right now. He was wonderfully quick with email responses, and although I would have been happy to have paid him before he began the work seeing as it's a custom order, he said he preferred to send me the invoice after the scales were ready to ship. So that's nice. The only disappointment was that he doesn't do hard inlays for scales with nested liners, so I had to scale back my pie-in-the-sky requests for scales with carbon fiber bolsters and multiple inlays of cocobollo. I guess I'll just have to order a scale for one of my ZTs to fully realize my arteestick vizion.JSumm wrote: ↑Fri Dec 01, 2023 10:04 amI wanna say my Endela scales were like $80 shipped. He is just one guy, so emailing works best to communicate. It is not like ordering from a large company on an automated website. But his work speaks for itself. The scales are wonderfully contoured. I am going to send him a Rock Jumper, so he can start making Leaf Jumper and Rock Jumper scales.Hatuletoh wrote: ↑Fri Dec 01, 2023 9:58 amI was going to make a post to ask about any personal Suingab experiences. The website photos look fantastic, but with estimates rather than set pricing, ordering via email, international shipping, etc., I just wanted to hear from someone who had ordered from him. And I'm glad to hear you are a satisfied customer, because there aren't many options for Endela scales, and I really need to replace the stock FRN scales on my K390 wharncliffe Endela. I LOVE that knife...but those scales are chewing up my pockets.
Re: Handle Scale Vendors
Just to add one more option in Europe (Sweden) - a friend of mine got into scale making and did a few carbon fiber scale sets for my PM2 and an absolutely gorgeous set of pure carbon fiber scales that are extra thick (by 1mm per side) for my Chaparral Lightweight . Plus he is a super nice guy to deal with too :)

Here a few photos of the Chaparral - with the new scales I absolutely love the knife and find the handling and feel in hand so much nicer (I was about to sell it before the new scales were on)

For fans of the Sage 5 lightweight:

They don’t pop up very often but they’re among the best aftermarket scales I’ve ever used. Tolerances are spot on and importantly, they include the Sage lw’s contouring…one of the most important aspects of its design.

Re: Handle Scale Vendors
I’d love to get my hands on a set of those curved fluted scales but since this maker hasn’t posted anything on IG since last May or so makes me sad that we might never see them again. Anyone have any info on whether another batch will be available at any point in the future? Thanks!Manifestgtr wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2024 3:54 amFor fans of the Sage 5 lightweight:
