Spyderco Pingo scales 3

Yeessss! Another bunch of Spyderco Pingo scales. Three different finishes:
- blue anodization,
- badlands,
- standard.

All with the logo engraved. I am really happy with the result. Hope you like it too!

Soon I will show you a video with the scales mounting process.

Finally after making many SAK scales me and my brother have managed to master 'production' of scales for another knife model - Spyderco Pingo. Here I have showed the first set of scales which we made for this knife: Spyderco Pingo first scales
These are upgraded with the new logo. I think it fits very well.
Hope you will like it as much as SAK scales, because I will probably make some more ;)

Spyderco Pingo first scales and customization

About two weeks ago I have showed you my first prototype of Spyderco Vox/Anso Pingo scales. Now I will show you first finished titanium scales with customized knife as also new finish has been given to the blade and other parts. The knife has a thumbstand and it was added by a knife owner. Blade and parts are stonewashed. Scales are made with my recently, favourite finish and I finally found a name for it:

... Badlands Finish! ;)

I thought customization of this knife will be easier but there was few tricky parts. One of them is a hidden 2mm pin at the end of the scales. I had to destroy my own Pingo scales to get its localization. Another problem was holes for pivots which was not circles, it was flat on one side. I had to make the some in order to use original spyderco pins. A job not possible to make without CNC milling machine, as well as slots for clip. I also had to add my own washers as there are no separate washers in oryginal knife (washers are an integrated part of the plastic scale). Hope you like it!
