Looks good.

I like the look of white scales, but concerned about keeping them clean.

 

[jbmonkey]

thanks.

good scrub once in awhile should keep it alright. course i could be wrong, guess ill find out.

Nice storm trooper you got there.

^didnt think of that when i picked the steel and had black coated only. then scales i just liked the white.

would have preferred satin or stone washed m4 with white scales but didnt have those options.

Nice storm trooper you got there.

you laugh, but I ordered the exact same color combo for my 556 and had a stormtrooper engraved on it,

and yes a good scrub with dish soap will bring the scales back to white.

After 30 years of marriage I know better than to underestimate my wife, and what she knows. And it never gets any easier truth be told. Now go get her the exact same knife, but have it all in black. Then you will have the tuxedo look, Or the storm trooper, depending.

Looks good. Getting to pick the colors makes it so much better.

That's cool with the white scales.

I'm about to order myself a custom cause I like the simple original scales. So I can't decide on steel, between 20cv and m4. Any opinions?
