If I'm seeing right, the "lightweight" version is pinned, but the G10 version's scales are screwed into the frame.
I looked around on YouTube but couldn't find any videos specifically for the Native G10 that show disassembly and swapping out the scales.
I'm assuming it's possible but figured I'd ask.
I don't have much experience taking folders apart or pimping out the scales... yet. But I'd like to take a shot at it with the Native.
I also haven't see any after-market G10 textured scales for the Native, so I'm guessing I'd have to buy a piece and cut it out myself. Can someone recommend what thickness I would need to use?
Also wondering it the liner/frame could be left out when reassembling. I saw one guys video (5:11/8:27) that shows a Manix 2 where the frame was left out and it's just G10. I don't see why this couldn't be done with the Native, but again, I don't have much background modding knives so I figured I'd ask.
