Domino scale swap?
Domino scale swap?
Anyone seen one yet? That weave is just too fancy pants for my taste. I'd also like to see something with softer edges or at least a bevel around the edge. I know G10 is boring to some but I think I'd like this knife a lot better with boring black G10 scales or even the other peel ply carbon fiber. I'd especially like it more if it made the street price less lol.

Don't get me wrong I do think it's a beautiful pattern and it's very cool looking, I'm not at all knocking it. I just prefer something less flashy for EDC. What I would really prefer is the standard textured Taichung weave...that would be a perfect middle ground IMO. Maybe it'll grow on me, maybe it's just more flashy than I'm used to since all the knives I carry are simple G10. When I carry my Vallotton I feel like I have pocket jewelry on, and it's just polished G10. I rarely carry my CF Caly 3, but when I do it's usually a special occasion so it fits the dress code. This is also a knife I'd like to see without the liner and with a matching Ti scale.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean, but the Domino's CF scale is beveled around the edge. I just got my Domino yesterday, but so far I like the scale. I find the texture just a bit grippier than the Sage 1 CF. The scale seems pretty polarizing from what I've been reading, a lot of people don't like it. I guess it would be pretty simple to make a new scale, or have one made.

I see nothing wrong with stirring concrete with the Domino at the construction site. :eek: :D
Actually I benefitted from someone thinking their Bradley Folder (GB) was too pretty to use. They traded it for a knife I had that I had made scales for. So now I have the BF. :) The only problem is it's too pretty to use. :)

Jack, I have many ugly knives that I would gladly trade you for that pretty GB. I traded mine away for an orange military and I miss the GB already. Thanks for offering to ease my pain... :Djackknifeh wrote:I see nothing wrong with stirring concrete with the Domino at the construction site. :eek: :D

I agree! Here's some Micarta Pron :DDeathBySnooSnoo wrote:I'm getting tired of all G10...even of most CF. What I'd like to see a lot more of is Micarta!
I showed this off to Eric at Shot Show this year and he loved it! I asked him why Spyderco doesn't do much with canvas micarta and he replied, "It's simply too hard to maintain at the right moisture levels and temperature." ... or something along that line. Pretty much, it creates too many problems to mass produce.

Much of the time if I want a new user, I have to buy a user. Otherwise it just sits on my desk looking pretty and waiting...jackknifeh wrote:Actually I benefitted from someone thinking their Bradley Folder (GB) was too pretty to use.
