I guess it would depend on how the scales were made. Rayban said earlier that his still works with the plastic sheath.

Yes sir, I used my band saw and you heard right......I did my second set of small G10 scales on it in one week, then went to cut a piece of hard wood on it and I could sure notice it had dulled quite a bit.......

Looks pretty COOOOLLL! Great job!
Can a lanyard be put through that?
It looks like it might but I am not sure.

Anyone else add scales to an Izula? I'm shopping one, and was thinking of using it as a platform to try my hand at making a set.
I''ll probably use wood to start with, and screws to make them removable. I'll probably bed the scales with epoxy so they conform to the internal shape, but use a release agent on the knife itself so it won't adhere to the metal.

getting some desert iron wood for mine - just need to decide whether to strip the coating first
also trting to decide whether to cover the rear hole or not
I didn't do it, but I don't think you would be making a mistake by stripping the coating off. I did use a Corby bolt up front to help the bond. Time will tell how it holds up.
I would for sure keep at least a lanyard hole, as I believe a lanyard to be pretty "handy" when using these small knives. Just my opinion.
