Ordered some 8 sets of custom scales from Steve Butcher.
All I can say is that I am amazed at the quality of craftsmanship!
Fit & finish is simply amazing.
CNC machined to the micron....
Thank you Steve!
Some pics for now.....more later....

Ooh. Something like that would look snazzy on my waved Matriarch2. Or maybe one of the Manix2s, or the single G10 scale on my M4 Mili.

What material are they made from? G10?
They kinda look like the brown scales on the Benchmade 300 Axis - which feels great in the hand - might have to pick up myself a couple of sets.
Mind PM'ing me the contact info for Steve?

Nice looking, are they flat or Anso textured? I can't quite tell from the pics...

Guys,
I have had several email exchanges with Steve and wish to report he will soon be offering his superb scales for Resilience models as well! Should be about two weeks I am told. Great guy to communicate with.
Cheers

They are Anso textured.
Yeah I live in South Africa and communication with Steve has been just wonderful.
His turnaround time is magic too.
Some better pics from the Steve himself during our communication:
