Does anyone know of a customizer who does G-10 replacement handles for mass-market blades? I'm not interested in wood handles and Micarta simply isn't grippy enough, even bead-blasted canvas Micarta--I've swapped e-mails with Sunrise, and they won't work with G-10.
My goal is to convert a factory fixed blade such as a CS Recon Tanto or Ka-Bar into a more serious user. IME, the handles on both suck, both for comfort and durability. One other consideration: if possible, I'd like the conversion cost to be less than buying a semi-custom or custom blade, such as by TOPS, otherwise I may as well just buy one of those to begin with.
Any help/suggestions appreciated!
