I recently won some Esky swag in a couple short contests here. Just wanted to show it all off and say thanks to Greybush and Thrillbilly! Greybush sent me the handles and Thrillbilly made the sheath.

Very nice haul, how do you like the handles? I am thinking about picking up a pair.

Thanks, they're pretty nice. They add almost 0 weight, but I wish they were a bit more grippy. I may rough them up with some sandpaper.

lil stippling works wonders on them...but aint the prettiest on the orange, stippling looks better on black IMO, the peanut butter zytel is odd with stippling too, or at least not as good looking as the black

Never tryed the stippling... I would assume thats becuase it melts and discolors the zytel?

as u can see, it just makes it more ''2-tone'' where it's stippled...the black is much more even colored
