Finally got setup to share some pictures of my blades. Todays mail call gave me some inspiration. Carbon fiber 318. My second Rogue blade works purchase and they have been top notch on all accounts. Their workmanship and carbon work is impeccable if anyone is looking for scales!
Mail carrier brought it by work today

  /|\ Looks nice Chimp. Do you know how much using CF reduced the weight?

  I don't know if it has reduced the weight or not, it is a little different shape than the factory scales and seems to fill up my hand a little better than the 319 I had. I am guessing it may be the same or heavier. I have no way to weigh it without taking it apart and not sure how these are to put back together. Maybe I will send them a message and see what the weight difderence is.

  Benchieking posted the weight difference on the Forum. The CF scales are ever-so-slightly lighter - not by much at all, but measurable, apparently.

  Glad it made it safe and you like it. I will get that info for you guys. As sre1 said about the weight that is correct for our bugout scales.
  
  I haven't weighed the proper scales yet as the factory micarta are pretty light and that wasn't the goal to make the knife lighter than factory.
  
  Those scales are called our sport grip because they actually fit in the hand and give you a better purchase on the knife with added traction if you are using it in an outdoors environment over gentlemen carry.
  
  Appreciate all the support from those of you here ordering scales. Maybe a limited edition run of forum scales for a model, Hmm! Thanks Everyone

  /|\ Sounds good. And if they don’t sell well you can sell them off at a discount to an internet seller - soon real down side
