I'm going to be installing my new G10 scales on my SPY 27 Mule this weekend and just curious if anyone puts anything on the blank prior?
I saw on another forum where someone put a thin coating of frog lube on before installing his scales. I don't have any frog lube around the house but will get some if it's recommended.
I don't plan on using my new Mule in wet or corrosive environments because that's what my Salt knives are for.
I treated my Maxamet mule with Frog Lube before attaching handles to it. Granted that model is a lot less stainless than SPY27 is, but it can’t hurt to have that extra protection. Just my 2¢.

Enjoy that new mule!
Thanks, yeah Maxamet is a little different animal. Lucky you have that model, I love Maxamet!
Are you permanently attaching the scales? Or are they removable? If they're removable you can always just take them off to inspect (and clean if necessary) later.

Thanks, they are the G10 Spyderco scales so they're removable.
Should be good on this steel. When they get wet the scales do wick a bit of water under the scales so as above mentioned, check periodically.
I have put a thin layer of felt as a liner sprayed to damp with food grade Inox for ones I have tried in the kitchen.. (less stainless steels though)
Thanks for the insight. Yeah, probably won't be used in the kitchen. I got a few Z-Cuts that get kitchen duty if I have the hankering to use a Spyderco for food prep. :D
New scale install?
