810 CF scales?

Does anyone know of a maker that does LSCF scaled for the Contego folder? I've seen very few pictures of them on a Google search but they do exist. I'm not a huge fan of the rough factory scales so this seems like a fitting knife to upgrade with LSCF that I've wanted to try on a folder for a long time.

  I would send Keyman a pm and ask about it.

  I had DOAT do some work on my 810, and told him if he want to hold on to it so he could take CNC measurements I didn't need the 810 back in a hurry. He made me G-10 back spacers to better balance the knife. Regards, Bill

  Thanks guys. Keyman, that's exactly what I'm hoping for. I'll send you a pm later but I better wait to make sure the 810 I traded for actually shows up, it's been 24 hours since he said he was shipping and I haven't heard from him yet :/

  Keyman, shoot me a pm with price on the LSCF scales. I'll have the contego on Monday so I'm very interested in a set.

  Could you pass along his info please? I really like Keyman's LSCF but can't get a hold of him :/

  I emailed DOAT and passed along what your interested in
  As it is Summer either or both Keyman & DOAT maybe on vacation so it may take a few days for them to get back to you.
  Regards Bill

  Re-read your 1st post. I too am not a fan of "hand bleeding grip" on the 810 as it comes from Benchmade, so I had DOAT smooth down with a grinder the liners in addition to maxing the G-10 back spacer. I than sanded the G-10 down some until I still had some grip but it didn't bite.
  Before DOAT modifications I'd rate the 810 as a 7 now it's a 9.
  For me the traction grooves on the 810 were more a problem than the rough G-10
  Good luck with you custom 810.
