Original Goat scales for the Hogue Deka 2 in Magnacut

[@coralinealgae]

Thanks for posting the video. I'm looking to get those scales for my Deka but I don't see any "buff coated" 2:09 options. What did you select to get that sweet matte coating?

[@sharpends4279]

The coating I have? That's "no coating" or none. It saved me a few dollars and I didn't want to spend too much money so that's what I got.

@@sharpends4279 Ah, thanks for letting me know. I just went ahead & ordered the stone grey ceramic coated scales. I hope the cera coat turns out okay.

I recently got the Deka 2 Clip Point in Magnacut and added the OG black scales with a black cherry floating backspacer. I didn’t completely break down the knife as you did……simply took the scales off and of course the pivot. One thought I’d like to share…….in doing it like this I used the Benchmade Axis tool that I bought on-line to align the pivot properly. Adding the scales and backspacer took the overall weight to 3.0 ounces and I absolutely love the look and feel of the Deka 2 much better than the stock version.

Yeah! It really takes it to the next level. Thanks for the comment. I really like the description of your build. Unfortunately we can't share pictures on KZbin, but maybe you could email me a picture because I'm really curious how it turned out. That's sharpends4279 @gmail if you get the chance

Very nice! I just ordered the same knife and am considering the Sedona Red OG scales.

I highly rec the benchmade alignment tool on etsy. Bought one made of steel and it makes working on axis lock knives effortless.

Sweet!!! I got the backspacer’s for both versions of my Deka’s!! I got the black scales. Yours looks really good though!!

I know im 3 month late to the party... But did u purposely switch the pivot around so its flat on the show side??

[@sharpends4279]

It's the way it made sense to put it back together. I probably didn't even notice the screw head on the show side but put it back together this way because that's what makes sense to me, lol. I missed an opportunity to comment and notice that. Nice catch! Actually carrying this knife today!

@@sharpends4279 i actually got the OG scales on my deka a few weeks ago, its now my go to knife (they make the knife so much better)
