I know what you mean. That's one of those sets that I would have liked to have kept for myself for a while. They looked really good on a stainless 1911 knife too. They left a mark on me in more than one way. They took a nice piece of the tip of my thumbnail while I was making them. Luckily I jerked my hand back before the sander got to the meat.

Well, if possible, put me on the wait list for a set of grips like this!?

Can do that. Just be prepared for a pretty long wait.

I'm been rolling the idea of a set for a Karma gift for a while now. I'm trying to get my inventory built up for a gun show that I've got a table at in October, so every set counts right now. Things usually pick up pretty heavy before Christmas and they tend to slow down after the first of the year. So I will probably end up making a set for a Karma giveaway after the first of the year.

Or if the forum has any kind of charity, I'd donate a set for a raffle or something too.
