I know this isn't a new thread, but this knife just came across my radar and I'm wondering how you are liking it now that you have more experience with it? Also, I know there is talk about modifying/replacing the scales, but I'm curious about the Celcon (polymer?) factory scales. Do they get slippery when your hands are sweaty or it's raining?
Thanks in advance for all input.
I think it's a very nice knife too And agree with everything MotokaiRider said above I deepened the etchs and changed the hardware to Black Oxide Stainless . I also sanded the paint with 600 grit to smooth it and now it's a little shiny I will probably strip it down the road

The etching in pics aren't as clear as they are live. Taking a strange reflection I guess.
Thanks for the inputs, guys! I've got one on the way in.
Yea , I know what you mean I keep hoping KaBar will come out with some . that would be very COOL KaBar ! Sure doesn't look very promising .I might have to find some kind of nice wood. I don't want work with Micarta or G-10 even though I would prefer itPulling this thread back.
Anyone know of any after market options for scales?
I suppose this may be a good time to learn how to make my own!
Oh man I like that ! The paint will be coming off mine now I've been holding off stripping it waiting to see if KaBar just might make some MICARTA for em .
