RC-4 w/ TKC Orange G10 scales

ESEERATFAN · Nov 6, 2010

Received my set of Orange G10 scales from Dale at The Knife Connection yesterday.

The fit is close to perfect. Nice complete kit with everything needed to swap scales.

I've always liked the 4 with the exception of the feel of the handle. These custom scales make a huge difference. Feels like I'm holding a completely different knife. I can see my RC-4 getting much more use now.

Do those come in other colors? Not much of a fan of orange.

Does look like a big improvement in the handle.

Very nice!

I have the Midnite Tigers's from Dale and I agree, the knife feels completely different in the hand, much more comfortable!

Thanks for the link!!!

Handle has always been my biggest concern with my RC4. Though it hasn't kept me from using the tar out of it.

Dale is working on getting them available for the full line at this point. These won't fit the 3, as it has a thinner blade.

Look great dude, amazing work :thumbup:

The 3 prototypes have just been completed & I will be inspecting them the first part of next week. If everything is alright, production will begin.

It adds about a 1/2" to the length.

Sorry it's taken so long to answer.. busy!

I have had some prototypes done with Micarta but the coating I developed for the G10 material does not work as well for the Micarta material so it has been "put on the back burner" for now.

Thanks for your interest!

Coating????

Is it a sealer or something??
Is it permanent or will it wear off??

If I might ask, what is the purpose of the "coating" on G10???

Thanks in advance......... :thumbup:
