What all have you done to the Sage? Besides the red shred CF scale my Southard has an MXG clip and Taco bearings.Very cool. I'm carrying this heavily modified Sage 5 again. Dinner is Italian fusion with Parmesan-Jalapeno chicken fritters, tri-color tortellini, and a light cream sauce.

I've never done anything that extensive. On my Southard, the CF scale is pretty thick and well rounded off and it fits my big hand better than the original, though it's probably twice as thick.Nice!
I deleted the scale nub that forms the bottom of the finger choil, rounded off the thumb riser for a smooth hump over the hole along the spine, crowned the spine, chamfered the Spydie hole, and lightly radiused the scale edges. It's not the prettiest work but now it just melts into my grip.
