While they definitely don’t provide the same traction as G10, the Code 4’s metal scales struck me as surprisingly solid. Even with sweaty or fatigued hands, I didn’t feel like losing control of the knife at any time. The finger cutouts and general ergonomics of the scales really make a difference.I like metal handled knives a lot although they can be slippery in certain environments. But I really like the Code 4, especially in CTSXHP, and they are cheap on the secondary market. Different blade styles too(I own 3).

That being said, I see the Code 4 as more for EDC than tactical/backup fighting knife. For SHTF scenarios, I would still want the biting texture of G10, so to speak.
