Could I ask where you got those scales? That is stunning knife. My 20CV smock is one of my favorites and I've been trying to decide on a scale upgrade. Also, can you tell me if there are any trick to dis/reassembly when you added these scales? Thanks!

Yep, the scales are from RCBladeworks. Blue/natural linen micarta. As for disassembly/reassembly, it's really pretty easy, but you do need to know that there's a second detent ball in the Smock. It's tiny, and it just falls out when you take the knife apart, so I suggest doing it over a tray so you don't lose the ball. And you've gotta get the ball back in place, which isn't hard except for the fact that it's so small. Needle nose pliars could help if you've got big fingers. Nick Shabazz has a great disassembly video on youtube. I'd recommend watching it a time or two first.samdasnake wrote: ↑Sat Jun 06, 2020 10:08 amCould I ask where you got those scales?
