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.Last edited by Maximilian; 10-30-2009 at 03:15 AM.

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

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.
