If you've poked around you may have seen these. Finally got a small run made.

The only little quirk is that the peaks of the grips have some anodizing wear already. This was a fear going into it but I like the texture. It's grippy enough, I feel, without being something that's gonna eat into your pants over time. The price will be $60 to the door. They will work in all other sheaths with the caveat that they may poke through sheaths that use the scales as a stop, like mine. If you have a belt wrap I made and find that your sheath does it I'll swap it out. If you snag a new sheath with the scales they can be made for the metal scales or to the G10 factory scales. The only time it really poses an issue is resheating with force. Normal use the knife won't poke through. I can also alleviate some concerns with a more generous trim.

These are for the partial tang knives. If you have a full tang I can bandsaw them down for no charge, just get me the knife.

So how do I know which version of Reverse I'm looking at before buying?

I was recently thinking about this because I remembered a post Tom made that new Reverse scales were coming. Super cool!

Very nice. It corrects the only real issue with these knives. Simple fix, but awesome in execution.

Well done Tom.
