I was wondering if anybody knows where I can pick up a pair of micarta handles for the Bk 15,16,17 series knives?
 
I believe Saint Cutlery on 'the bay' makes some... but they also change the ergos in their design and I don't care for it. Fit and finish on them is superb though.

I'm very anxiously waiting factory micarta for the tweeners...

I remember seeing the factory micarta on the short prototypes a while back and I think I remember hearing someone say that the handles were, "programmed in," to the milling device so I expect to maybe see something soon. Maybe shot show? Hmmm...

In the meantime I've gone back to working on my own denim micarta concoction.
 
Yeah, I've got a couple pairs of old khaki/green cargo pants that are destined to be turned into micarta. I figure by the time I get those ready, Ka-Bar will have a nice factory set available and I won't have to live with the crappy set I make!

You could always make your own. It's not that hard. Even with just a hand drill (although a drill press helps immeasurably). I actually just got a bunch of 1/8" camo G10 in that I'm planning on turning into scales for my 11. If anyone else is interested, I can probably make a few sets. I wonder if I epoxy 3 sheets together if that will look funny later if I cut it up...
 
All,

Factory BK-15,16 & 17 Micarta scales are being worked on as we speak. Present ETA is Dec '12; for sale Jan '13.
They will look surprisingly, like Moose's set.
Mrn8:hold on to your cargos.
Hope this helps.
