Do you fellas have any recommendations for a marketplace or a good custom knife maker who would be willing to grind out a new handle for my Super CQC-8 (and possibly my incoming Persian)? I love everything about Emerson's knives except the standard texturing on the G-10 handles.

Something similar to the Benchmade Bob Lum designs (Dejavoo, Onslaught) would be the perfect complement to Emerson's fantastic blades.

What handle material is your fav?

I've had knives with Zytel, Micarta, Grivory, G-10, mahogany, rosewood, and maple handles - and I liked G-10 the best. But how the manufacturer textures it makes all the difference in the world.

Case in point: the Emerson Super 8 and the Benchmade Onslaught both have G-10 handles - I love the Onslaught's handle, but hate the Emerson's. It leaves my hand feeling dry, and the small craters pick up dirt and other artifacts during daily use.
