One of our members asked me about scales for a Bush Baby. I told him I'd need to experiment a bit. Turns out I'm faster than I though I was!

Anyhow, these are black G10 scales on a bright finish Bush Baby. The material is 1/8" thick, for a 3/8" total handle thickness. Looks like the experiment was a success. I didn't expect the hardware to work with material this thin, but with a little careful grinding to shorten the screws, it worked.

The leather sheath pattern I use can work with this model, but it requires a slightly longer snap strap (about 1/4") because the scales don't allow the knife to insert quite as far into the sheath.

Thanks for looking!

Yes, it is.

This one has some optional handle scales on it though.

I think this lil bush baby looks much better with Diapers on it ..

I think a knife this size would be a handy one to have out there in the wilds.

I just came back inside after spending the night in my hammock and what do I find.....

Very nice, I can't wait to see the sheath.

Glad to hear you got to spend a night out.

I'm going to try to get a sheath together in the next few days. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Added a few sheath pictures to the original post.

Gryphon - I hear you. I sell a few items here and there to pay for all the toys.

You know how that goes.

P wood, I'm loving my second bush baby. They're like peanuts, you can't stop at just one.

Beautiful handle in G10,
in Portugal is very difficult to buy that stuff (G10).

WOW PW!!!
Those scales really complete the Bush Baby!!!

What does something like that run?

C3 Knives · « **Reply #18 on:** May 27, 2012, 09:42:50 AM »

Looks great PW. They look like they fit perfectly. Thicker would not be better!
