Great! Thats awesome. When I get home in Sept. mine will be getting a facelift! Thank you.
Do you find the nylon scales better in other ways than just the more grippier surface pattern?Thanks. My first experience with the nylon was on the Gardener. I liked the textured feel of it so much I decided to go that way when I knew the Fieldmaster needed rejuvenating. Shortly after I replaced the cellidor with nylon, the Fieldmaster went missing.
Fearing it was gone forever, I picked up a used Climber, also in nylon. Fortunately, I found the Fieldmaster so I now have this SAK nylon-handled family.

Sorry for necromancy but I like this thread ...
Yeah. But others could ...Doug hasn't posted here since 2015, so he's unlikely to reply.

I've heard the nylon scales are, in contrast with the current cellidor ones, "filled out" ... while the cellidor scales are with "holes" - empty parts of the scales. Is it true? important regarding grip? better for durability?

I have 2 nylon (I believe they call it polyamide) SAKs, an old Gardener and a newer Sentinel. The former has solid scales, while the Sentinel's are hollow, making it feel a bit cheap. Can't beat the grip on either however, vastly better than cellidor.Do you find the nylon scales better in other ways than just the more grippier surface pattern?
