5/30/2026 - Mike Harris: 3MLZ Forge

Mike Harris of 3MLZ Forge is a part-time maker out of Hillsboro, Tennessee known for detailed custom builds and thoughtful material pairings, often with striking steel choices.

This week we are featuring one of his knives with our Skully 3D GripX™ in White, a now rare pattern we recently redesigned!

“These grips are fantastic. They are extremely solid and are very easy material to shape. GripX is easy to keep a hand on even if the material gets wet which makes it perfect for daily functionality.”

He typically shapes at 120 grit and finishes at 220 grit to keep a clean look with strong traction.
