I'm looking for custom handles, spacers or liners for the GSO 5.0. I would like the handle to be thicker than Survive!'s set up. Anyone know where I can buy these?

Also, interested to hear how others have felt about the GSO handle, and if anyone has tried spacers or custom handles.

-thanks
 
I really like the GSO handles. But, have found prefer a little more width for my hand/finger size/length.

Spacers yes (to make handle a little wider/fatter). You will most likely need proportionally longer screws (also, mine are/were differing lengths because of factory contour/shape of scales). Depending on what you are looking for, consider first trying a single spacer on the palm-side scale - like adding a "palm-swell"). You may find a preference for slightly asymmetrical shape (wider on the palm-side).

I am currently adding width to handle scales in three fixed blades (GSO-4.1, ESSE-6, BK-16), somewhere slightly narrower than Spyderco BushcrafterUK that I recently picked up (nice handle dimensions for a working knife).

Hopefully something here is of some help to you.

Regards,
Christopher
