Kershaw Emerson CQC 6K/7K maple handle scales - Skull Rose / hand-painted

Style features

The skull in roses (or "skull with roses") is a powerful, iconic motif blending beauty and mortality. A human skull—symbol of death and the inevitable—entwined or crowned with vibrant red roses represents life’s fleeting nature, love’s transience, danger in passion, and the duality of existence. Rooted in Mexican Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) traditions, Victorian memento mori art, and Gothic subculture, it appears in tattoos, jewelry, street art, album covers, and dark romantic aesthetics. The contrast of delicate petals against bare bone evokes themes of beauty in decay, eternal love beyond death, and living fully in the face of mortality

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 maple

• Durable wood species
• Lightweight
• Tactile comfort
• Natural shock absorption

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?
