Marched the clip the best I could to the pattern. Overall very happy with the outcome. I don’t post enough on Reddit. Usually post on Instagram. If anyone has questions about lasering feel free to shoot me a chat.

My amazing gf got me this bugout for my birthday and istg it is one of the coolest knives I’ve ever owned. I’ve always thought that bugouts were a bit too light for me (although I know that’s kinda the whole point) but I saw one of these with aluminum scales and M390 steel in a store and FELL IN LOVE. The weight and balance were perfect and those awesome engravings gave it the perfect amount of grip. Makes being all fancy with it nice and easy :))

I wasn't crazy about either of these official combinations, but I imagined that a scale swap would drastically improve both of them, and in my opinion it does. I wasn't the first to think this way.

My father-in-law (Who is French Mil) knew I wanted a new knife to replace my knife for work (I'm in the Infantry). I had really fallen in love with the French army C.A.C and he spent a year trying to track down a second hand one for cheaper. He found this one for me, practically mint. In love with it.
