I've looked at my Griptilians for years and thought about making new handles for them, not because I'm dissatisfied with them, but just to try it. I've done numerous fixed blades from kits and mods of some fixed blades but no successful mods of folders. I looked at pix from others who've done Grip mods as well as Wilkins grips. I've already ruined some nice micarta, so some G10 scales are my next potential victims.
My idea is to try a set of scales without the stainless liners inside. G10 should be stiff enough, my concern is the lack of a stop pin. I could get a pin and put it in the appropriate spot, in a recess on each side. I'd also need back spacers, too, but that should be pretty easy.
I'd appreciate any thoughts or suggestions you might have!
