SK Customs® Announces the HAKA Stainless Now Available for Shipping

HAYMARKET, VA – October 28, 2022 – SK Customs® is officially shipping the HAKA in stainless steel, the final product of a two-part, limited-edition production designer series Colt 1911.

 “As we continue to pay tribute to traditions and cultures from around the world, we’re thrilled that this firearm is now available for shipping,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Customs. “The HAKA is a ceremonial dance in Māori culture and represents a display of a tribe’s pride, strength and unity. SK Customs is proud to finally get this historical pistol into the hands of collectors and firearm enthusiasts.”

This final iteration of The HAKA is presented on a Full-Size Colt Classic 1911 Series 70 .38 Super and comes in high polish stainless steel frame, slide and accents. Notable features include:

• High polished silver nation matched barrel

• Gold plated and high polished magazine release

• Grip screws

• Barrel brushing and spurred hammer with 24K gold etched motifs

• Diamond studded factory front staked sight

HAKA Ka Mate pre-dates the 19th Century and is defined as a Warriors Mantra, an expression consisting of every part of the body. Haka is now performed in many reverences, mostly by the New Zealand Champion National Rugby Club and in other areas throughout the world. Haka represents both a ceremonial and threatening show of force through rhythmic moving of the body. 

The gun comes with a limited-edition series number from 001 of 200 etched in 24K gold behind the right slide serrations. Order the final legacy of this two-part limited-edition series today.

SK Guns® Presents the MANA Stainless to Winner of DC Project Hawaii Fundraiser

HAYMARKET, VA – October 25, 2022 – SK Guns® is thrilled to celebrate Brian Takenaka, winner of the DC Project’s Hawaii Chapter fundraiser. To honor this outstanding accomplishment, SK Guns® gifted Takenaka the MANA, a full-size Colt Classic 1911 in .38 Super polished in stainless steel.

Targeting the rising demographic of women gun owners, the DC Project raises awareness toward firearm safety and is committed to education on America’s gun culture. The DC project believes that gun rights are women’s rights, and that firearm safety and violence prevention is achieved through education, not legislation.

“We’re honored to present DC Project’s fundraiser winner the rare MANA Stainless through our SK Gives Back program,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Guns®. “This dedicated initiative is diligently working to change lives through their efforts to preserve gun rights across the nation. We’re not only in the business of providing collectable firearms but also making a difference in the shooting community and beyond.”

SK Gives Back is an initiative that provides firearms for fundraising purposes to a wide array of important causes. SK Guns® saw an immense need and answered the call through partnering with foundations devoted to creating safe communities, such as the DC Project. SK Gives Back is proud to commend Takenaka with the MANA, a limited-edition pistol inspired by Polynesian warriors featuring a 24k gold-plated barrel, stainless steel frame and etched motifs inspired by rich Polynesian culture.

“The Lost State of San Jacinto – Sam Houston” Now Shipping as SK Customs® Announces Sequel in “The Lost States of America Engravers Series”

HAYMARKET, VA – October 11, 2022 – SK Customs® restored history early this year by announcing “The Lost States of America Engravers Series,” highlighting the first custom gun, “The Lost State of San Jacinto – Sam Houston.” With limited inventory available, collectors and firearm enthusiasts can now purchase this outstanding, 24k gold-engraved Colt 1911.

Following the success of “The Lost State of Jacinto - Sam Houston,” SK Customs® has revealed the sequel in the series, “The Lost State of Franklin - John Sevier.” Set to launch in 2023, the production highlights the rich history of America’s young independence. John Sevier was an American Solider, frontiersman and politician that marked history in 1784 by creating The State of Franklin, today known as part of Eastern Tennessee.

“With only a few of our custom Colt 1911’s honoring General Sam Houston remaining, those that missed the launch can now purchase directly on our website,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Customs. He went on to announce that “SK Customs® is releasing a sequel in 2023, ‘The Lost State of Franklin – John Sevier,’ honoring the founding father of Tennessee. Those who own the first in the series will have first rights on their matching limited-edition number on next year’s gun and subsequent launches in this production series."

The Battle of San Jacinto took place in 1836 in present-day Harris County, Texas as one of the most important battles of the Texas Revolution. This gun tells the story of General Sam Houston leading the Texian Army against General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna’s Mexican Army in a critical victory.

The battle lasted only 18 minutes and changed the world, leading to the United States gaining not only Texas, but also New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, California, Utah and parts of Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, and Wyoming. It is one of the most decisive and consequential battles in the history of the United States and the Western world.

Details on each side of the pistol include a beautiful custom scroll pattern which flows to the top of the slide. On the left side of the gun, SK Customs® has engraved the iconic quote by General Sam Houston, “Texas has yet to learn submission to any oppression, come from what source it may.” The right side quotes the Texian Army as they charged into battle shouting, “Remember the Alamo, Remember Goliad!” The coin and gun are sourced directly from partners in the Lone Star state, highlighting its rich historical value.

The top of the slide provides a portrait of General Sam Houston in front of the Monument of San Jacinto, while the rear of the slide is engraved with State Seal of Texas and “The Lost State of Jacinto.” The pistol is completed with Mesquite Burl grips native to Texas.

Purchase “The Lost State of San Jacinto – Sam Houston” for $3,000 today for immediate shipping and be on the lookout for the exciting sequel in this series.
