Star Model BM 9 maple grips - Veritas Aequitas / hand-painted

Style features

Veritas Aequitas ("Truth Justice") is the iconic Latin motto and tattoo from the 1999 film Boondock Saints. Inked on the hands of Irish vigilante brothers Connor and Murphy MacManus (Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus), the phrase symbolizes their crusade against Boston's criminal underworld

The brothers, guided by divine visions and Catholic faith, execute mobsters with precision, leaving pennies on victims' eyes and the motto scrawled in blood at crime scenes. They view themselves as instruments of God's justice, punishing the wicked where the law fails

The film, written and directed by Troy Duffy, became a cult classic despite a limited release, inspiring sequels (All Saints Day 2009) and a passionate fanbase. The tattoo—Veritas on the right hand, Aequitas on the left—has been replicated by thousands worldwide as a symbol of moral conviction, vigilante justice, and brotherhood

Why wood, not G10 or micarta?

Wood offers greater comfort, warmth, and aesthetic satisfaction. Wood is lighter and more pleasant to hold. Wooden grips are best suited for customization and hand finishing. Or perhaps made from G10 and micarta. Why not?
