Keyman transformed this Cold Steel Mackinac hunter for me. The factory version scales were too thin for me to get a good grip. Keyman added just a touch of thickness with these orange G10 scales, and finished with a slightly rough, i e grippy, finish. It now works perfectly for me, and I can find it!! I had modified the clip point to a little bit of drop point. These mods really improve the way the knife feels. Is now a perfect field knife/edc for me.

new scales just the right thickness

original scales just too thin for a working knife, at least for me

That really transforms that knife into something great. The stock Mackinac does nothing for me. I can only really appreciate stag on a really nice traditional, much less faux stag on a modern with thumbstuds and a lock. Those orange scales transform a really shabby looking knife (imho) into a handsome, no-flash user. Nice work Keyman!
 
Thanks deltablade!
Excellent, I'm really glad it came out the way you wanted it to.
I aim to please.

Today it's this.....

 



Black micarta on Kershaw Thermite, Christmas present for buddy coworker. Handle feels great, like a worn-in sweater.
 

Holy Lord from above that is awesome. That is a stormtrooper's knife, plain & simple. the backup to his photon blaster. I actually don't care for the stock adamas AT ALL but this is a game changer. Good job Keyman. (not going to mention the Moonglow because it's too awesome for words on top of the stellar scale work)
