When I buy a new knife sooner or later I disassemble them. Not only for maintenance but also out of curiosity. With the Amalgam I wasn't expecting anything exciting, however I found something i've not seen before. Where the liner meets the stop pin you can see a piece of reinforcement. There is a cutout in the scale to nest it. It looks like a piece of Meccano 😉

Thanks Dan. Fully agree, the blade and ergo's 👌 What would you like to see in terms of steel and scale material? Would not mind a 4v and red g10 version from St Nicks.

Thanks Dan! Apollo got some nice scales on his 🤩 Not that many options to buy scales for the Amalgam. I've found G10.it and RC bladeworks but that's about it. Did Apollo got his from G10.it? I did find a gunstock manufacturer in the US that will make a free pair of scales if you send in the original ones. He will make a 3d scan so he can start producing them. Might be interesting? https://gungrips.org/free-grips-scales/ ... ee-scales/

I believe Apollo is a big Cuscadi fan . I like their work but I don’t speak German . RCBladeworks would be my go to if I do and other models . Custom scales I have now on knives are RGT but he is drifting away from letting hand options .
