Lightning strike Contego
I posted this on bladeforums, but thought you might like to see it too.
I ordered a set of lightning strike carbon fiber scales for my Contego and i just got them back from Keyman. I am loving these scales! Its my first time handling lightning strike scales and im blown away by the way they look and feel.
The scales are smooth so they wont tear up my pants, yet the Contegos handle shape and jimping still provide an excellent grip.
My Contego is one of my duty knives, and i carry it in my left side cargo pant. It does not come with a lanyard hole and i've found it can be hassle to grab with winter gloves, so I've mounted a standard split arrow clip, to provide a bigger "pinch" area when grabbing the knife.
The cell phone pics do not do these scales justice, but its the best i can do at the moment. You should see how it sparkles in the sunlight.
Keymans work is excellent and i highly recommend him if youre looking for custom scales.

Nice.
What goes on w/ the thumb stud...or lack of? What material is that plug.0 -
That's a blue G-10 pin. Some time ago i got some grooved blue G-10 scales for it from Cuscadi. I removed the studs prior to shipping and Cuscadi put a matching blue G-10 pin in the hole. I didnt like the scales, so they went back, but i loved the pin, so i kept it there. 0 -

Very nice, great work. Do like the blue stud. 0 -
That's one thing I wish benchmade would do is make different scales that a guy could buy separately I think they'd sell a ton of them 0 -
The 810 is a great platform for mod's & LE's!

They did that for the Rukus. Don't think they sold that well. Scales can be pricey. Often over half of the original price of the knife. Does not make sense from a production standpoint.0 -
That looks amazing. just amazing. 0
