BK14 grivory

[bluefivespot]

I have a BK14, BK2, and a bunch of other knives, most of which have micarta. I know that many people don't like the grivory, and initially my impression was negative, but the more I use my BK2, the more I like the grivory. It's NOT slippery, it doesn't cause hotspots, it takes abuse and still looks new, works well with factory sheath and leather sheaths, etc, etc. The more I think about it, the more I want grivory scales for my 14. I have been using it EDC for a while, and to be honest like the blade shape and overall ergonomics more than the ESEE Izula 2, but only when the handle is thicker, like with paracord. And I am not that enamored with a paracord wrap for the 14. I figure it is unlikely to happen, but thought it might make for an interesting thread. Anyone else want some grivory for a small Becker?

 

[Bladite]

i believe Toooj should chime in. he the man

 

[The Warrior]

Grivory for the 14 would be cool. Count me in...

Add me to the list, Grivory scales for my BK14 would set it up, darn near perfect.

Good call.

[NixKustoms]

I'll take a set also!!!

 

[SaturatedShadow]

I agree. I would like some Eskabar grivory.

 

[Arkanian]

I actually prefer Grivory over Micarta, I'm game.

 

[Flexxx]

I will take some also....

 

[slapper]

Mark me down for a set or two.

 

[S2ymour]

me too

 

[gytheran]

I'd take a set, also. Just make sure they go to the end of the handle and not stop short like the izula handles.

Not trying to dissuade anyone from what sounds like a great idea, but until and unless Ka-Bar accedes to your wishes, there's always Sh@rp's polycarbonate 14 scales. Texture-wise, they're very similar. There's a fairly recent thread around here on 'em I do believe.

I'm in.

 

[IUKE12]

Sounds like a great idea. I might be persuaded.

 

[paperairplane]

The reason I like this idea, is I consider the BK14 an EDC, but also a concealable knife. The grivory would give you a better grip, but is also smooth so that it would not hang up on clothing when drawing from IWB or under a shirt.

add me to the list.

Same here.

I must have missed that thread...got a link?

I'd love that. Will settle for micarta I suppose for my BK11 and BK14 but would MUCH rather have grivory.
