At first glance I was not sure if I would like the Chokwe, but it has turned out to be one of my favorites. You either like it or not. If things work out I may have some upgrade pictures soon.

The more I see these, the more I want one! I have a feeling my girlfriend would kill me if I bought one though.

Look mate, don't worry about the killing bit. The knife is worth dying for. Being your GF doing the job she will probably only kill you a little bit and you still end up with a Chokwe :D You win either way dead or alive.

I just replaced the G10 Chokwe scale with a thicker jet black Ebony scale!
I am happy with the new look and the thicker scale feels better in the hand.

Looks very Nice. I made a wood scale from scratch, from wood I got out of the woods across from my house for my manix. Not sure if I will put them on, because i love the grip g-10 gives. Great Job on your knife by the way

The Chokwe is (unexpectedly) one of my favorites too. Nice ebony scale!
