I NEED some scales! Thanks for the pics, and those sheaths look great as well. I was waiting for the Rodent 3, maybe I don't need to

Hooker If you have a 3-11 could you do a comparison at least as far as weight and handle thickness?
Thanks MM

The 311 is 5.1 oz. and handle width .780" at ricasso,.720" mid, .760" butt, .645" at narrowst sections. The Swamp Warden is now 3.3 oz. (was 2.2 oz.)and scales are .555" wide. The Warden is closer in size to the Scrapavore, than the 311. ![[Linked Image from i947.photobucket.com]](http://i947.photobucket.com/albums/ad312/DHOOKER2/008-9.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i947.photobucket.com]](http://i947.photobucket.com/albums/ad312/DHOOKER2/010-1.jpg)

Very nice! I saw those on Bladeforums and liked the way they looked; it's good to hear that you like them.

Hook,
I've been considering adding scales to my Wardens, but was concerned about the weight they'd add. I like the SW as a "very lightweight piggyback" to a larger knife and therefore don't want to overburden the design with a really heavy set of scales.
Any idea how much they weigh?

Any idea how much they weigh? They add one once, or about 30 percent. And add a little thickness for a piggyback setup. But if you like the feel of the Rodent Solution, you'll love the more compact feel of these scales.
