Thread: Friodur - J.A. Henckels - 17 1/2 - G10 Green/Black & Pistachio

This has got to be one of the prettiest Henckels I have seen so far. It's got a real heft to it with a 1/2 hollow grind. A solid piece of steel.

The Twin logo and Friodur inlay came from the original cream colored celluloid scales which I first removed with some acetone.

I let them soak a short while, cleaned them both up really well, made sure they were completely dry before applying them back to the new scales made from G10 Green/Black & Pistachio which was requested.

I was asked to keep a classic look and design for the scales but with a little edge to it. I ended up using SS and NS washers and pins. As to the tapered wedge, G10 Black/Gray.

The blade got polished and buffed on the buffer with mostly white and green rouge.

Enjoy.

I like that one Mad Max it has a whole different "feel" to it....

What did you use to re-apply the inlays?????

It does look different. Pics don't even do it justice.

I used waterproof, 5 min, epoxy. Works great.

HOLY COW MAX!!!!!! That is so beautiful , different , and classy all at the same time. Great work on those scales and I also like the inlay.

Simply beautiful. Your work never disappoints.

Max, the retro-edgy look of those scales is all kinds of special! Very very cool!

Awesome job Max!

Love the way you kept the inlay in the new scales

Wow...

Very nice, very classy.

1/2 hollow stainless?!

Man, oh man, How I'd love to get my hands on one of those!

Looks great Max!


Glenn, I have also used CA to glue inlays on my scales too. FYI.
