Maker of the Week - Kyle Nelson

Maker of the Week: Kyle Nelson - Flying Shark

This week’s Maker of the Week is Kyle Nelson — known for his signature combo scales that balance bold contrast with real-world function. Kyle built these killer sets using this week’s featured color: White GripX.

White GripX is clean, bold, and unapologetically different. It brings a high-contrast, modern look to any build while delivering the same uncompromising traction GripX is known for — secure in wet, bloody, or adverse conditions. Finished properly, it holds its brightness without feeling slick, giving makers a crisp visual statement without sacrificing control. It’s not just a color choice — it’s a performance material that stands out on the table and in the field.

Kyle’s builds are show-worthy, but made to be used. That’s why he chooses GripX — to give his customers the upper hand when grip actually matters.
