There are some knife modders out there who take the easy way out when dealing with nested liners... and use a liner on the scales. Say, imagine a 1mm thick piece of G-10 where all you have to do is trace and cut out where the liner is... then sandwich it together when putting the knife back togethe...

I assume you are using a G-10 Endura as your base. The main difference between the FRN and the G-10 models is that the FRN Endura has nested liners for which you'd also need cuts on the opposite side of the scales. The G-10 Endura has flat liners (with holes), and should work with what you have pic...

The sixth image is the result of the profiling operation. [ATTACH]21629[/ATTACH] This seventh image shows the scales with the waste material removed...

I've been tasked with creating machining files for the Endura model... a knife I was not familiar with. Working strictly from the provided scales (both the G10 and the FRN Enduras) I've scanned and measured all the necessary data points to input into my CAD application. The first image is a screen s...

Yeah... customer didn't like it either. Just some wasted time at the keyboard... no G10 was harmed in the making...! :D

I'm presently working on a few Endura's... one G10 and three FRN models... all of them scale and backspacer jobs. While doing the CAD work for the nested liners I got the idea that there really is no need to adhere strictly to the OEM profile in areas where the operation of the knife is unaffected. ...

These are two of my most recent Manix 2 mod jobs... scales only swap using all the original hardware. With a mod job you have to make a decision as to the location of the pocket clip. It wouldn't look good to have machined pockets in multiple locations so both of these are tip up/right hand carry. T...

After designing and building my CNC router I thought I'd do some scale work with G10 and such. This is a small Anso pattern in tan, olive drab & black urban camo on my Manix 2.

After designing and building a CNC router I thought to use it to machine custom scales. Here's a Manix 2 with a small Anso pattern in tan, olive drab, & black urban camo G10. BOOMER52 http://www.flickr.com/photos/mica17/8311441201/sizes/l/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/mica17/83114...
