Everyone's CF scales are awesome, you are making me very jealous! Just thought I'd add my $2.50 mod pic to the mix. A little black RIT dye and a $20 G10 scale for the Domino that matches the Southard's scale and I'm really digging my new flipper duo:
The Southard seems to even work a bit better since I took it apart and put it back together again (thankfully! always a bit nerve-wracking to take these things apart, isn't it?). Cheers.

Hi JB3, cool scales! Any reason you didn't put the lanyard tube back on? Just curious... and a bit envious that you have two Southards!!JB3 wrote:I liked it before, and I like it even better now ... anyone else modify your Southard scale? Show 'em! :cool:

Hi LC, the G10 scale for my Domino was made by Allen Putnam and I bought it when he auctioned it off on eBay a few weeks ago (no one else bid on it, go figure). He described it as "not perfect but close", which I can attest to, it's only off a hair here and there over the Ti. Feels great, much less slippery as the stock scale and it nicely matches the one Spyderco uses on the Southard. Allen Putnam has a website at bladescales.com, and I bought a PM2 sculpted G10 set made by him at BladeHQ a few months back, really nice stuff! Hope that helps! :)

Well, I showed my simple dye job version (which covers its dings from being dropped in a parking lotgull wing wrote:Nice CF!
I put a THINNER G10(too even out the "off" thickness) scale on mine, does that count? :D
), so it'd definitely be great to see your mod. What color is the G10? Still the coarse version?It's better to be good than evil, but one achieves goodness at a terrific cost. ––– Stephen King
Teach me! haha. Is it as simple as bringing the RIT to simmering and dropping the scale in?RadioactiveSpyder wrote:Everyone's CF scales are awesome, you are making me very jealous!
