I'm still debating if I want to customize this knife or make it a dedicated bug out bag knife as it is.
I make custom kydex gun holsters, mag carriers, sheaths, and knife scales... But i do it all by hand and haven taken this knife apart, this is a lot of work to make some custom scales by hand. Inset liners. All but two screws are inset in the plastic grips with glue.
So I just wanted to see who's tried to make handles

Pics would be awesome as I'm a very visual person
 
Kevin Wilkins and Cuscadi, both in Germany make custom scales.

I have two sets of Mr Wilkins scales on my mini grips. The all black is G10 and the red back spacer is Anodized Aluminum.

Very nice. That takes a lot of talent, patience, and skill.

Looks like part of the solution on the grip was to use a backspacer or standoffs.

The biggest part I'm impressed with is the fact that you too the time to mill out the g10 to insert the liner.
