This guide details how to modify the Benchmade 810 Contego's G10 handle scales for improved ergonomics, a technique demonstrated by reviewer Nutnfancy. The process involves complete disassembly and careful sanding of the scales to eliminate sharp edges, resulting in a smoother, more comfortable grip. This modification is recommended for users finding the stock scales uncomfortable during extended use.
