Custom Knife Scales for ESEE Knives, Reiff and Montana Knife Company

ESEE Knives like the Izula and Candiru and Reiff Knives like the F6 deliver an incredible amount of value and utility for the money, and in the case of the former, are covered by a legendary warranty that is famous in the industry for how comprehensive it is. 

But could knives like these be made better? Definitely, and one of the easiest and most straightforward ways to add value to models like these is with custom knife scales. Here’s what you should know.

Why Custom Knife Scales?

Regardless of whether your EDC knife is an Izula or a Montana Knife Company Speedgoat 2.0, there are several ways in which custom knife scales can improve the look, feel, handling and general utility of the knife. Though this is sometimes model-dependent, here are some general observations. 

• Improved traction and control. Let’s take a closer look at the case of the Montana Knife Company Speedgoat 2.0 for this one. In that case, the knife ships from the factory with a paracord-wrapped handle. This is not an uncommon situation in this industry, and the paracord does offer some flexibility since it can be removed from the knife and used as needed. But the case remains that, though it is light and versatile, custom knife scales will offer better traction and control, especially under adverse conditions. In this specific case, we offer textured G10 scales for the MKC Speedgoat 2.0 that offer significantly improved traction and control over the knife, even when subjected to adverse conditions. 

Better visibility. Suppose you get an ESEE Knives Izula with a black powder coat and no scales. Suppose, in an alternate case, you get one with matching black scales. Regardless, though discreet, that knife is not going to offer good visibility in the field. A set of custom knife scales for that knife with a blaze orange colorway (or other bright color) will make it much harder to lose the knife should you place it down errantly in the field. 

• Better purchase on the knife handle. We’ll also take a closer look at both the ESEE Knives Izula and Candiru for this one. In both cases, the knife handle is very small and can be borderline to downright uncomfortable for those with larger hands to use. We carry extended handles for these models that are easy to install and which will significantly increase the surface area of the knife handling, boosting comfort, control, and ergonomics in one fell swoop.
  
  
• In some cases, easier maintenance. Let’s go back to the Montana Knife Company Speedgoat 2.0 to take a closer look here. This knife is designed as a hunting knife, which necessarily means that at some point or other the knife, like your hands, will be soaked in blood, fat, grease, or all three. Paracord is absorbent, which will make it difficult to keep the knife clean, and difficult to maintain it properly, while you have the tang wrapped in paracord. Our G10 custom knife scales for these models are not only non-absorbent, they will prove much easier to maintain. 

• Adding a touch of personality. Lastly, with the custom knife scales we sell for select models from ESEE Knives, MKC, Reiff Knives, and others, you can add a little bit of personality to your knife that wouldn’t otherwise be possible accounting for only the factory specifications.

What Our Custom Knife Scales Offer

Regardless of what knife you’re trying to outfit with a new set of custom knife scales, custom scales from The Knife Connection offer several significant and unique benefits. Here are just a few of the big ones.

• Durability and high-quality construction. We carry both Micarta and G10 scales, both of which are renowned for their general durability and robust quality, as well as for the fact that they have basically no maintenance considerations. They are also non-absorbent and extremely robust. 

• Flexibility. For the models for which we carry custom knife scales, we generally carry several different options, not just in terms of color, but in terms of design, so you have a good deal of flexibility with respect to how you customize the knife. 

• Ease of installation. In most cases, only basic hardware or fasteners (and basic tools) are required to install the custom knife scales that we carry here for select models. That being the case, this remains one of the easiest ways to customize your favorite knife.
