G10 flow through?

I must be having a brain freeze, because the closest ones I can think of are the new 2011 designs from Kershaw that have full G10 and a small steel tab lock instead of a full liner.
Now that I think about it some more, nearly any locking mechanism in existence would make it not be "full G10" in an absolute sense. I suppose you could have someone custom up a full G10 pillar construction friction folder.

I don't think that exists.
You can give up one side of the handle to a slab of steel or titanium and get something like a spyderco leaf storm, or strider sng.
Or you can have two steel liners, but get g10 handle scales with pillar construction out of a benchmade axis lock knife
Or you can give up on the pillar construction and get a CS Triad lock knife.
A liner lock or frame lock will have to have some form of a steel liner on the lock side, even if its just a partial liner.
An axis lock will also have a steel liner for the bar to ride on.
A friction folder will allow for you to have full g10 handles with no steel liners and pillar construction but you won't have a lock, although there are some pretty trick designs out there that will be even more secure in use than some locking knives.

Alan Elishewitz/Hogue EX01 G-Mascus has no liners except for inner steel bolsters at the top of the handle. It has a flow through design, but not quite the type you are looking for. Alan Elishewitz also makes the MTK which has linerless G-10 scales with inner bolsters like the EX01, but the MTK makes use of a small backspacer where you are looking for standoffs.
