Figured I'd post this up here to see what you guys think.
Last night I got a little ambitious and put a little vial of tritium in the back of my beloved benchmade 531. Didn't break anything so I'm pretty happy.
Just wanted to know what you guys think, or wondered if anyone had any suggestions for the next time I do something with tritium. And believe me when I say there will be a next time. This was hella fun.

Is it just sandwiched between the liners? I like the color choice.

I've always wanted to order the small tritiums (1-2cm), make a groove in my scales and seal it in with clear epoxy.

Right now I just have a normal glow-fob lanyard on my leek.

I dremeled out the inside of the handle so it has a little slot that it sits in, and then put a couple pieces of heat shrink tubing on either end of the vial to keep it in there nice and tight.
Next I want to get several vials and line the back with them being attached like the standoffs holding the handle together.
