Five Flute Gentleman Jim

Hey All,

I just wanted to show off a project I've been working on.  It's no secret I love orange knives, but the standard G10 I use, contoured and smooth, doesn't really offer too much grip.  I've been experimenting with ways of adding a bit of grip to my knives without sacraficing any of my pockets to the evil villian Peel Ply, and I think I may have come up with a workable solution to my dilemma.  Using my mill, I added a similar five flute pattern to what will be available on the tactical version of my custom framelock to the contoured orange scale of my Gentleman Jim.  This scale gives a lot of grip while maintaining the hull integrity of your pockets, very functional and cool looking.
