Scales are by Suingab, a nice guy from Lithuania. Overall, very fine work - finished nicer than my Allen Putnam scales, I think. The Micarta simply melts into your hand. I made the order on August 6th, and the scales arrived here in California on the 27th - not bad overall. My two minor complaints are:
- The backspacer isn't quite flush with the scales. This isn't really an ergonomics problem, and I think I could just sand it down, but:
- There's a bit of play in between the sping and the backspacer.
I've reached out to Suignab to see if there's anything he can do about the second issue - I'm sure it's difficult to produce a factory fit without having the actual knife in front of you. In the meantime, it's not going to stop me from using the knife.
