FRN feels fine to me. I just like FRN knives to have liners, though. They make opening and closing much smoother; I don't like the metal-on-FRN sound.
 
Yeah I just never liked FRN it has always rubbed me wrong and I don't like the grip it gives. The G10 just feels better all around to me.
 
STR is a guy on this forums, he is very nice and extremly informative. He makes custom pocket clips and can "wave" knvies for you. He is certified by Emerson to "Wave" knives.

If you say so. There's nothing flimsy about fiberglass reinforced nylon, and the only reason it's cheaper than G10 is because G10 scales must be individually shaped, as opposed to FRN being injection molded. It's easily as chemically resistant as G10 and I bet it'll take being hammered on without deforming better than G10. The only real advantages that G10 has, as far as I know, is it's structurally more rigid than FRN, and more resistant to open flame.

If G10 feels better to you then that's fine. That's just a matter of taste. But don't underestimate FRN. It's not cheap plastic.
