F5 GEN2 Swappable Handle Scale Set (Dark Earth G10)

Make It Yours

Build the F5 GEN2 you want to carry into the woods — match your pack, match the season, or just dial in the look of a knife that's already proven itself on the toughest jobs. The F5 GEN2 swappable handle scale system lets you transform your fixed blade in minutes with a few turns of a screwdriver. Same trusted F5 GEN2 platform. New personality.

Dark Earth G-10

Dark Earth is the color of work that's been done — the deep, honest brown of broken-in leather, weathered gunstocks, and canvas jackets that have seen a few seasons. It nods to the FDE aesthetic without copying it, sitting between modern and timeless in a way that pairs just as well with a bolt-action and field jacket as it does with current kit. And unlike lighter tans that show every speck of dust, Dark Earth wears its work proudly, hiding the grime that comes with putting your gear to use. Pair that workmanlike character with G-10's legendary toughness — impervious to moisture, won't crack in the cold, won't fade in the sun, and tough enough to outlive the knife it's mounted to — and you've got a handle that looks as good on the bench as it does on the belt. Earns its spot in the field pack, the range bag, and every loadout that's been chosen deliberately.

Each scale set is precision-machined to the exact contours of the F5 GEN2 handle, preserving the ergonomic geometry that makes the F5 GEN2 comfortable to run through batoning, chopping, and a full day of bushcraft. The contoured shape mimics the natural curve of your palm, distributing pressure across your hand so you can grip, cut, and pry without hot spots or fatigue. Drop them on, get back to work — the comfort doesn't change. Only the look.
