For this modification I used a 111 mm Soldier from 2014. I exchanged the original green-black scales with olive-green G10 with a Coarse Texture. The G10 used is pretty coarse and the grip is very good. It’s also a bit thicker than the nylon scales. As a result the handle is about 3.5 mm thicker than the original Soldier’s handle.
The green G10 is very close to the black G10 used for the conversion kit for the 111 mm Soldier I showed in an earlier post. On the last pictures you can see it.
For this modification I decided to use an Alox Harvester and to exchange the silver Alox scales with Black G10 with a Coarse Texture. The G10 used is pretty coarse and the grip is very good.
It’s the first time I used G10 and I like it. It’s ease to work with and it looks nice.
The G10 is very close to the G10 used for the conversion kit for the 111mm Soldier I showed in an earlier post. On the last pictures you can see it.
I thought the G10 version would be significantly lighter than the Alox version, but my balance says it’s only 4g lighter.
For my next mod I will use a green G10 with the same coarse texture.
I got a Soldier with a beautiful Damascus blade, made by André Perret some years ago. The owner of this beautiful Soldier asked me to add a saw because he wanted a Farmer. This is the result…
This knife was originally a Soldier model 2008 from 2013 with the regular green-black dual density scales. Now it’s still a Soldier model 2008 from 2013 but with black G10 scales and with a clip.
The G10 scales are very nice and very well made. They are mounted like the original scales without glue. The clip is attached to the frontscale with two tiny torx screws. G10 is rough and gives a good grip.
I bought this conversion kit consisting of scales and clip from a knife and tools supplier.
The basic model for this modification is a Farmer. Two layers with scissors, pruning blade and small blade were added. This makes it a big and very usefull friend.
