That Valhalla reminded me about a couple other Blade>Handle folder designs, there's been a couple really neat ones like that Benchmade LFK...that one's kind of a modernized Marble's Safety Folder.

Ok, corrected my mistake from this morning. No magnacut but saved 200 bucks so I’m ok with it!

I kept going back & forth on whether or not to get the Spyderco Spydiechef. I missed the Slysz Bowie and the Spydiechef was made by the same designer, Marcin Slysz, with echoes of the Bowie design. But then I stumbled across the Kizer Wanderer on a good sale and had to pick this one up. Really well made and thought-out design. I love the outer symmetry.

I already had the Pro Tech. Just got the Spartan. The scales are a little thin for my hand. I am going to get some G10 liner to add under the scales. I have never done it before, it seems like it might not be too difficult to accomplish though. I guess just take the scales off and trace onto the shim. Then cut the shim and sand to match the scales. Does that sound about right?

How thick are you going??

I think I need .90" per side. I have a pair of Manix 2 scales taken off for another project I am attempting, and those scales are .104" /side. When I hold the Spartan and those scales in hand, it seems about right. But when I order the liners, I am going to get a few different thickness sizes, just to be sure.

Here is the Spartan laying flat on a book with a CRK next to it for a thickness comparison. You can see in the second pic, they are pretty close, thickness wise. That is too thin for a fixed blade knife handle.

Some. Contouring would be awesome too!!!! I don't know why so many knives come with flat scales....Contoured scales make a world of difference!!! Good luck with your project... Looking forward to seeing it progress..
