SK Customs Introduces Gods of Olympus-Athena to the 1911 Series Lineup

SK Customs, a limited edition manufacturer of custom firearms, presents “Athena,” the fourth creation in the Gods of Olympus engraver series. This production of 200 custom model Smith & Wesson Full Size 1911 pistols chambered in 45 ACP embodies SK Customs’ talent in producing one-of-a-kind engraved firearms. 

“Athena was a member of the twelve Olympians and was a Greek goddess of wisdom, war, and reason,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Customs. “We have had a lot of interest in the other three firearms we offered in the Gods of Olympus series (Ares, Poseidon, and Zeus), so it’s only fitting that we continue to provide 1911 collectors and enthusiasts with Athena as part of the set.”  

Key Features of Gods of Olympus-Athena 

• Serrations are deeply etched to symbolize Athena’s spear and entwined with a snake 
• Slide flats symbolize Athena’s dominance with war, her connection with owls, and her shield with Medusa’s head to enforce her power of victory 
• The grips feature the Greek Key border, illustrating Athena and her owls taking flight and Athena at Mount Olympus   
• An Emerald set front sight is both functional and complimenting 
• The price is $2,800 and will begin shipping in September 2024                     

“Using our highly reflective conversion technique, SK Customs brings to life a fiery tone exposed from the steel and uses 24K gold to highlight the attributes of Athena,” said Khiabani.  

Each collector of the Athena gun will receive a commemorative silver coin featuring the mark of the Bank of Greece in Athens and the year of production. The coin also reveals a profile of the goddess Athena in battle with her symbols. Each coin comes in a protective case set inside a black velvet coin box labeled in silver with the “Gods of Olympus—Athena” logo.
