Scale prototyping (Scale Sets X2) (Hard materials)

Design and prototyping service for a set of scales in hard materials,

Using this Scale prototyping service enables us to get hands on with a knife we do not currently own and allows us to replicate the Scales and if necessary any spacers, this can involve several attempts at cutting the Scales in a sacrificial material (normally Aluminium) to get the fit just right, Only then do we cut your Scales in your chosen material and apply the necessary refinements and finishing touches, After successful prototyping the scale sets will be added to the website for general purchase and will no longer be accepted on this service unless a major re-design is required.

Due to the cost of some of the knives we have recently been sent to prototype we have had to limit the return postage rates to RM Special Delivery or DPD Delivery due to insurance costs and risk of loss/damage.
