Looks fantastic. It will be interesting to find out how it wears.

I need to check the Product Photos forum more often. I missed these photos of the end results of loonybin's scale painting project. Both knives look great!. Is the "military insignia blue" a Tamiya spray lacquer?

I too am curious about the long term durability of the painted scales.

Nope. That is also Kustom Kolor acrylic urethane. The paint on the 806 acted more like an enamel when curing, but that may have been because I put it on so thick. Tamiya has a Navy Blue in their spray lacquers, though.

The paint is getting shiny/polished on the raised parts that get handled/worn the most, however it seems to be quite hard.
