I’m in for a lanyard hole... and one without. I like my lanyards to be honest.
Looks good. Any plans on doing other patterns besides the gear pattern? Possibly smooth or lighter jimping like the Slysz bowie?
I'd even be interested in a smooth solid Ti backspacer maybe with light jimping towards the butt end of the knife... and the rest slightly crowned like the blade spine.
With CRK designs being minimalist I can picture more basic streamlined backspacers suiting the 21 platform really well.Alas... my spindle on my CNC is high speed... incapable of being slowed sufficiently to machine metals.
As far as other patterns in CF... that's certainly possible...

Have there been any new runs of full length backspacers? I have a large and small drop point 21s in need.
All other questions notwithstanding ... We’re going to need backspacers for the new Sebenza 31--both large and small. Sorry to be a PITA &/or impatient, but this is a fact.
I understand and appreciate the time requirements, difficulty and complexity of the task. My post was probably more an expression of wishful thinking than anything else. I look forward to it happening when it happens, which I know is a matter of something in the distant future......The NEW 31 models will require full scan and CAD workups IF the critical landmarks and profiles have been changed. I don't see my being able to fit the time for doing that into my current production schedule. The difficulty is substituting the 30 to 40 hours of effort for development of a NEW product which has zero billable hours for the billable time of machining customer requests already on the whiteboard and in the queue. One man band here...
I thought the dimensions of the handle and blade were identical to the 21? Might not be though.
I'm totally clueless as to this new 31... so my comment about the possibility of non-identical landmarks and profile is totally based on that ignorance.
If all is identical... then development time will not be as protracted...
You can have my 22I do have one small 21 CF full length back spacer available.
With regards to the Large 21... the machining file for the large back spacer has been created and proofed for the use of the MXG Gear stepped lanyard pin... however I have since changed from the MXG Gear stepped lanyard pin at $12 to the CRK stepped lanyard pin at $5.00 which necessitated a code modification due to the barrel's center diameter difference between the two pins.
This NEW modified code has not as yet been run to produce a back spacer. I currently do not have a Large 21 on hand for insuring proper fit. When I am able to acquire one and proof the new code... I will make several runs of both the cogged and a new smooth back spacer in carbon fiber, G10, and although I do not like machining Micarta... I'll possibly produce some black Micarta spacers as well.

You can use one of my large 21’s to adjust for the CRK lanyard pinI'm totally clueless as to this new 31... so my comment about the possibility of non-identical landmarks and profile is totally based on that ignorance.
