No scale SAKs works just fine, as you say. Ive never had a problem using a SAK without scales if one was in the process of having factory scales removed and custom ones installed or if one simply yanked the factory scales and left it as is.Never cared for scales on a SAK. Always just took mine off because I find the exposed rivets aid in grip, well for me anyway. Gotta say though, those are some darn purdy SAKs ya got there!
