i recently decided on the 75mm persian to my new edc for various reasons. i only want to change one thing about it and that is the removal of the micarta scale opposite of the clip. i figured leave the micarta on the clip side for not only looks; but, an increased ease of draw. on the opposite side i'm torn between stingray and a maroon (oiled) g10 both of which i saw on chaxknives. i would like everyone's opinions on the two options. the +/- of both and which you would get. also, does anyone know of a custom shop that offers colored stingray like they do for watch bands and gun holsters? in advance, thanks.
