I have been struck with an idea that's crazier than usual for me...
Has anyone, especially Rob, thought about putting scales on a Bitteroot? I wouldn't want big thick things, since the whole point of this knife is its slimness, but a pair of thin-yet-textured scales might give it an even more secure grip. Ideally I would want scales that are less than 1/8" thick each, which would probably be more trouble than they're worth to produce. I'm not sure whether G-10 can even be worked that thin.
So, am I nuts, or is the idea viable? And does anyone think it would be worth trying?
Rob: Can I get a "Gunner Grip" for the Bitteroot?
