These will be for sale directly from kabar? I'll have to get some. Does anyone know if they will fit the Camillus ones?

nice ! i can't wait to see them, i use my becker alot in the woods and orange will be great to help find my knife when i let it somewhere and forget where i put it!
plus the contrast with the black blade is going to look awesome
now i just hope they use G10

I heard five weeks was the ETA at Blade so that's about two more weeks (give or give more).

Another week counted down and the waiting is still tough. Still, it's such a blessing that waiting for micarta slabs and some fasteners is a 'problem.'

These New Scale's are Nice, But do you think Micarta can Hold Up In Rugged Combat type use like the Stock Grivory Scale's already on the BK7 & BK9 ? Also mold & mildew resistant In Jungle condition's ? I'm gonna keep my BK7 and my BK9 Stock for Combat use, Not for Show ! I'll have to admit though then New Micarta Scale's are Beautiful, But I'm going for ruggedness not Beauty !

Micarta is some very tough stuff. Id not hesitate to use it in the worst of conditions, and I have used it roughly. I like that it gets grippier when wet.
