The aftermarket scales that came on it were very nice. But the transformation was amazing. And you are such a craftsman. Very well done.

Wow! That looks so good! Love that Mexican blanket micarta look.

[@KnathansKnives]

🙏🙏😁

[@jeremyspaulding7735]

Came out awesome! The lines of the micarta go very well with such a straight handle. It's also a very cool effect on the blade side edges. Great video 👍

Thank you Jeremy!🤜💥🤛

[@majorpowell10]

I love this so much! I recently bought a Smock and decided it's the knife that's gone get custom g-carta scales from the slab I've been holding on to for months. I'm hoping they turn out half as nice as yours did. 🙏🤞

[@KnathansKnives]

Thank you very much! That's awesome to hear you'll be customizing yours, I'd love to see how it turns out!

[@Gunfighter314]

Absolutely amazing! I love this knife and even more, I love you scale mod to it!

[@KnathansKnives]

Thank you very much!

[@jfriedman5274]

Perfect timing I ordered a smock clone for 20 bones cause I wanted to do a full chop mod on it first to make sure I liked it before chopping my real one I figured that was my best bet... I love your content so keep 0n pushin dude....

[@NavyAssassinOnBLAST]

Same. I didn't get a smock clone but I'm using them for practicing sharpening & mods. I've not seen a Smock clone. Now, I'm going to look.

[@KnathansKnives]

Nice! That's a good way to get a test run in😁 I'd love to see it after you chop it.

[@tgrzadziel1975]

Where can I find a smock clone?

[@interamerichanic]

Loved the Smock video. May want you to do some work on mine.

[@KnathansKnives]

Thank you, hopefully soon 🙂

[@coxdevj]

That turned out great!

[@KnathansKnives]

Thank you very much!

[@beeochg4]

Beautiful work man

[@KnathansKnives]

Thank you!

[@AlMasonAsphalt]

Awesome work! Looks fantastic. What kind of bit do you use for your countersunk holes? I've been having a hard time finding the right bits for countersinking holes in custom scales that I've been making

[@KnathansKnives]

Thank you very much! I use my larger drill bits to counter sink my hardware holes(I just take my time and try not to slip) but I definitely need proper counter sinking bits.

[@AlMasonAsphalt]

@KnathansKnives lol, that's what I've been doing too ! Great work!

[@KnathansKnives]

😁🤜🤛

[@coprolite_steve]

Great job! What drill press do you recommend for working on knives and scales?

[@KnathansKnives]

Thank you! The one I use is from Harbor Freight but the most important thing is that the chuck is centered🙂

[@dailygearguide]

Came out really nice 👍

[@KnathansKnives]

🤜💥🤛

[@gotemcoach_2294]

Do u charge on customized knives based on the size of the knife?

[@KnathansKnives]

I usually charge by the material and the amount of custom work wanting to be done🙂

[@drecdlz]

What bit sizes did you use?😊 Smock scales are very hard to come by and are very expensive where I am from,I want to make my own 🤘👌

[@KnathansKnives]

Honestly, I can't remember but I just used the OG scales as my guide with my drill bits🙂

[@donuilcelt8494]

Just amazing

[@KnathansKnives]

Thank you!

[@majorpowell10]

I am finally going to attempt this on mine after your video inspiring me to do this! I do have a couple quick questions, when you do the tung oil you say you let it sit for 30 minutes. What does that mean? Do you just wipe it on with your finger? Wait 30 minutes then wipe it off? Wash it off? Also, can the GCarta be cut with a scroll saw? Wondering if maybe a diamond carbide or certain blade would be required? And do you wear protection to keep from breathing the dust? I’m guessing it’s kind of nasty stuff. Anyway, I am hoping mine could turn out Even half as good as yours. Teach me the ways, master

[@KnathansKnives]

That's awesome to hear, I hope to see it once it's finished! When I use Tung Oil, I soak the scales in it and then let it sit for 30 min, then I'll wipe it off with a paper towel. I've never used a scroll saw but a bandsaw works great! I do wear protection, Eyewear and Dust mask. With practice and patience it will turn out great!🤜🤛

[@majorpowell10]
