The micarta-handled one is my EDC. Until recently, it wore the kydex handle slabs. I like the texture of the micarta, but the kydex handle felt more complete to me. I vastly prefer the 14 over the 11. The handle is just large enough and shaped better to provide a much improved interface to the blade. My wife snatched up the 11 when I got my first 14.out of the bk11, paracord wrapped bk14 and mircata handle bk14 which do you use more often?
The 11 is stripped completely, handle and all. I'd recommend leaving the coating on the handle to keep it from corroding underneath slabs or the paracord. When I replaced the paracord on my 11, there was some minor rust and grit underneath.also is ur 11 stripped?
