Blades are cut and milled already, scales are in progress. I should have everything back here in a couple of weeks and can share some pics before the blades go out to heat treat!

Blanks are back! Now I have to rough grind and get everything out for heat treat. This cnc sculpting turned out amazing, very comfortable in hand!

And I screwed up the CAD file on thickness for the 2.5's... I have to remake them. So I'll probably have some 'slimline ' scales available, and/or I'll add liners for those that want an extra set with some pop.

I’m so stoked for this release! These are really shaping up (get it?) nicely!

Sweet! and good news on the scale comfort too!

I keep kicking myself for not ordering a 2.5 Ember as well

I should actually have some extra when it's done so maybe you can still snag one but I'm not sure what scale options will be yet, I did mostly g10 for the extras

The sculpting on those scales are amazing! Wow, great job! I bet they feel great in the hand.

Hey Josh he sure did, I really like it.
His creativity and craftsmanship is fantastic. Maybe I can talk him into making one of these for my Utility Ember 3.5.
BTW that little Ember goes wherever I do.
I love it.

They are all rough ground, just have you finish a couple things and they will head out to heat treat.
