The paper Micarta on the -1702 is a little on the slick side, but the stock Griptilian handle shape, the jimping, and the factory texturing make the knife really secure in hand. G10 is much grippier for sure, though. I've got four Grips with aftermarket scales in G10. The 550/555 pair wear orange G10 by your countryman Igorded and are machined with his Anso-like "random" pattern. That G10 is smoothish, but the machining and similar-to-stock shape makes them good in hand. The other pair are matched small/large Ritters wearing Wilkins coarse G10, which is the grippiest of that material that I own. Kevin's scales totally change the ergos of Griptilians and between the material and their shape they absolutely lock in.

The carry system is my own little innovation, for pocket or iwb carry. The paracord goes round the belt tab when carrying in the pocket, but it is just a safety to prevent losing the sheath. When I need the knife or play with it, I grab it in my pocket and pull up and slightly backwards. The "ghetto wave" sticks to the edge of my pocket and knife brakes loose, the sheath never leaves the pocket. When carrying iwb I switch the statick cord on the front side of the sheath, pull the loop from under my belt and the knife goes throught the loop. Stuff inside my waistband and tighten the loop with the lock.
