your welcome buddy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

now understand if you do it, and make some sweet scales for any of the SY blades
we'll all "oooh and ahhh" I promise, me included!

your blades your right to do whatever with them but....
these are users, made to be beaten, pounded, abused! they were never intended
to be "Perdy" show stoppers but of course you can do it, and we all will admirer and
think it's fab but you/me/any of us can't do resiprene-c, you need the machines
and "recipe" for it and res-c gives comfort and grip unlike anything most of us
have ever tried.

res-c is definitely not pretty, but it does it's job, shock absorption, grip and wear
in many elements, something that is hard to replace.

it also has a lifetime warranty so even if it doesn't last as long as Micarta/G10/wood/other
they will fix or replace it, something I think is fantastic!

up to you bro, good luck and good fun just some food for thought <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
