can I use a file on G10?

[sogflash]

I think the G10 scales on my benchmade 950 have a to sharp angle on the sides for comfortable use.

is it possible to smooth out G10 with a file? I don't want to mess it up, just make the edges a bit more round.

Use an emory board. They work great for G10. I think a file will cut very quickly.

Make sure to use breathing protection, or work it while it's WET. The dust is dangerous stuff (glass fibers). If it gets into your lungs, you'll never get rid of it.

Yup, works just fine. I have used a sanding block and some 220 or so paper to smooth out the scales on a couple of my knives at various points. As OWE said, don't breathe the stuff, it's like fibreglass. A couple light passes to break an edge won't cause that much dust, but if you go trying to reshape the whole scale, breathing protection is definitely in order.
