I was looking at that thinking it was the scale's finish and drooling. It does look really cool - I'd love to have that in a permanent pattern. Happy worms

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Kuraki:
This prototype is done. Making some slight changes and then I'll do a run of 12 or so. Changing the opening hole so it's not extending back under the frame when open. Changing the open angle so the edge of the blade will continue to flow with the arc of the handle rather than the opposite direction. Last I won't use this ugly purchased clip, instead I will make Ti clips that use the scale screw and be inserted into a channel under the scale instead of over, that way it will be ultra deep carry with nothing to snag your pocket. Last I'll either use a different pivot or I will put a copper/zi/ti/etc cup under the pivot screws. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/125898/20180410_234413-512375.JPGhttps://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/125898/20180410_234419-512376.JPGhttps://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/125898/20180410_234429-512377.JPGhttps://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/125898/20180410_234457-512378.JPG |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WICOUNSEL:
Question for those that have lived with CRK for some time (or at least know a lot more than I). I am still new to these and don't know all the history. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/328446/IMG_4517-513321.JPG The top one there is a 2012 Sebenza. The other two are Inkosis which I think started in late 2015. Both the Inkosis have what I believe is called a bead blast finish on the handles. I think this is how all the CRKs come now, other than the Mnandis. Gives a little bit of texture/grip. Not bad. Shows marks fairly easily. The older Sebenza though has more of a smooth finish. Perhaps stonewashed? Doesn't seem to show any marks. Finish looks consistent inside and out on the Sebbie. I like it better. So, was the smooth finish on the Sebbie handles standard or an option at some point in the past? Stonewashed (kinda what it looks like)? Polished handles (which I know they offer now on some special editions) that have just worn really well and not picked up scratches? Or is it just plain Ti and they get like that from years of use? The box the Sebbie came in doesn't give any more than the basic info, perhaps suggesting it was the plain Jane model at the time. Any insight from long time owners or enthusiasts? I'm tempted to find some pebbles and a coffee can and try my hand at stonewashing the Inkosi handles myself... |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SecretSquirell:
I'm no expert, but I believe they only had one scale finish outside of the limited runs of custom stuff. I think it all comes down to who was running the bead blaster that day and their experience. Mine from last year has the more rough texture but it has smoothed out considerably though it does show a bunch of scratches. Maybe it was carried a lot by a careful user and has smoothed out. |

The clip on mine is all kinds of FUBAR'd from work and I need to try and even it out, but I'm hesitant to take any kind of abrasive to it. |
