Bk-14 grivory scales?

[Theknife]

Hi, how are the bk-14 factory grivory scales? Are they solid and grippy? I am thinking about getting a bk-14 and the factory scales but have not herd much about the scales. Thanks in advance.

They're zytel so I wouldn't exactly say grippy but solid, yeah. No offence but how could you not have heard much about the scales? Search functions your friend man, here I'll get you started...http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/923866-BK14-Zytel-Handles.

Oh, thanks. I did not use advanced search or anything. I just looked up bk-14 and did not come up with anything. Thanks for the reply and link.

I'd say to get the Izula micarta scales instead.

I dont like the izula scales that much because they are not very hand filling.

Zytel is ok but if you want something more substantial you should consider getting some custom wood scales.

I think I will get the Zytel, it is the cheapest and there are two sets of scales.Thanks everyone
