I couldn't leave it alone. It was screaming for some more grip. I love this knife and I can't wait to get my hands on another one.

Looks great! any points on how you did that exactly?

I used a dremel with a small sanding bit. It's only micarta so it comes off pretty easy. you have to be careful you don't go to deep. I think My job is a little sloppy I could have taken my time with it and made it more even but whatever it's a work knife no a show knife.

I used a dremel moto tool with a small drum sanding bit. It cuts through the micarta pretty easy and fast. I could have done it a little more even and cleaner if I took my time but this is a work knife not a display knife so it's no big deal.

For what it's worth, you should wear a good resperator when working with composits such as micarta. The dust created by sanding is bad for your lungs and is a health hazard. Also work should be done in a well ventilated area.

This is my first attempt at homemade scales out of lime G10, next try will be in wood

 

[Carolina River Rat]

Nice work, Sawyer.

 

[Sawyer]

Thanks, now I've done one set I'll probably end up doing a few in different materials

 

[shotgunner11]

Very nice my friend, you've done well.

Good job Sawyer. Those scales are niiiiiiiice

 

[Sawyer]

Thanks for all the compliments guys. The scales look a lot more translucent in normal light, almost like they should glow in the dark

 

[Sawyer]

This photo shows a bit better how translucent the scales are. Flashlight is a Fenix P1D Q5 if anyone's wondering, awesome little light

This weekend I helped some friends with an annual pig cooking (affectionately referred to as Sausage Fest), and the RC3 was the first knife in my bag when I packed up my gear. Sorry about the quality. The lighting wasn't the greatest, and after the beverages I'd consumed I wasn't thinking clear enough to adjust the settings on the camera.

All of the tools that I brought with me:

The Pig:

And the damage my RC3 did:

 

[DRod]

Yep, thats a pig.

I recently picked up a Buck Ergo Hunter sheath off the Bay for peanuts wondering if the RC-4 would fit in and yes it fits in perfectly and the extra bottom sheath fits the Izula perfect too!

 

[Carolina River Rat]

DUDE!!! That's awesome! I gotta get me one of those.

I believe the guy on ebay has one left, just search ergohunter, located in new jersey
