Nothin' fancy...no jiggin'...just G-10 that he glass bead blasts. It puts a real 'grippy' texture on the scales...I don't think someone could pull it from your hand with a rope...! It looks good too, especially the bright orange G-10. I like G-10 or micarta (canvas or paper in particular) best of all on a field knife that I'm gonna use a bunch. Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Relatively straight runs for hunter size knives and closer to the tips for smaller knives. Hardly any pith. Nobody has come up with a fail (fingers crossed). --- CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE --- A Magic Time To Be An Illegal In America---
