Manufacturing time

We operate on a made-to-order basis. This means that when you place an order, we have some time to make it. The time it takes depends on how complicated the style is. The production time is listed in the features. We try to stock up, but it doesn't work out. Thank you for that!

Natural solid Karelian birch

• Unique pattern
• Lightweight
• Tactile comfort

Precision CNC machined & hand finished

Each set of scales is designed using a 3D modeling process and precision CNC machining technology, ensuring perfect fitment and consistent quality. After machining, the scales are carefully hand-ground, painted and oiled for a smooth finish and long-lasting protection. There are many tears and sweat between these stages. You won't know, because no one reads this far

• 3D design modeling
• Precision CNC cutting
• Protective coating application
• Manual grinding and finishing
• Quality inspection

This combination of modern manufacturing and craftsmanship ensures excellent fit, finish and durability

Why wood, not G10 or micarta?

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