Ha, that is a good point! It was nerve racking to do it for the first time. I wouldn't do it to every knife, but this one seemed to need something. Plus I messed up a little on the blade grinds, but had too much $$ into the knife not to finish it and make it a knife I will keep for myself.
Greetings from Aotearoa, New Zealand, hey thats a great look, as you say, not too complicated but adds a dimension. I would like to try that with some of our native woods, say rimu or matai, I have'nt tried using G10 yet, was interested to see you can use linseed oil on it!
Михалыч Чавес Thank you for the comment. I used boiled linseed oil on this one, but a number of different oils will work, like teak oil, tru oil, or even a lubricant oil like WD40 (if you have that in your country).
@@NuManXplore Thanks. Yes of course we have all these oils. I have enough experience in the impregnation of wood, but never worked with G10. Now I will experiment))) Greetings from Russia;)
Good question for you sir.....have any ideas to retexture a benchmade griptilian scales that wouldnt cost much and wouldnt take much material off the scales?
That is a good question...if you had a dremel style tool you could make some light texture marks in it. It could even be done with a file. You might want to mark out a pattern first with a pencil and then file/grind it in.
Beautiful knife. Well done Sir.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I’ve skinned a bunch of animals with that blade.
Very good! Beautiful knife handle!
Congratulations.
Thank you for watching and commenting. That technique is a great way to get a nice handle.
Making those marks really changed the whole knife Nathan and to even better direction! Beautiful work! Atb, Osmo
Thanks Osmo! Not everyone likes the looks, but it does help the to keep the knife from slipping.
You say its not very complicated but it takes some nerve to texture scales that already looks perfect, lovely job as usual.

Hey, a new video! No time to watch it now, but I’m excited to get to it later. Keep up the great work!
Yep, finally getting some vids out! Your comment is much appreciated!
Great video!

Thanks so much!! Sorry for the late reply.
Well done!
Thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial Nathan. I'll probably do that to the handle of a machete I'm rebuilding.
Yes, the technique is not that hard, but the results (in my opinion) are outstanding!
Interesting look
Thank Adam!
Good job. I'm going to do something like that. I don't understand English well. Please tell me what kind of oil is used at the end?

Thanks i just might have to do that or get g-10 scales for it but they cost almost as much as the knife lol
can you do this with plastic??? 🙂
I think it would be pretty hard, as you’d have to be really careful not to melt the plastic.
Where do you live...looks cold...
Yep, it's cold. I live in the Canadian Arctic!
