Some customized Leverlettos for your viewing pleasure
These are a pair of standard leverletto knives that I had AIK do some custom work on. The scales are blue abalone and pink abalone, with accompanying file work.

The Bill DeShivs Leverletto is one of my favorite knives. It’s practical and sturdy, and even better, it’s a great platform for a customized piece!
I enjoy vibrant colors, and the blue and pink on this pair really stand out!

Those look great, first pink knife that I've seen that doesn't look like it should have been another color.

You know, I really do like the custom work that AIK does, but I must say, I'm just never thrilled with the pin replacement with screws. I know the screws are supposed to be gold plated and all. But, I just have a tough time getting use to them. Very gorgeous knives though! The filework and scales are amazing!

The gold screws do stand out.

I like the screws, you can easily do minor repairs without screwing up the scales.

Very nice! AIK does some great work. I've picked up a few customized pieces from them and I've always been very pleased with the results.
I've never placed a custom order, though. How's the turnaround time?
