G10 handles out there?

[corbon]

Does anybody have any fixed blade Striders with the G10 handles? Or does everybody prefer the paracord wrap handles?

I do have G10 and I do prefer G10 over paracord. Unfortunatelly currently I only have Strider MH with G10, but working on it. 2 customs from Duane pending. Hopefully soon.
For my not so combative knife use I prefer G10 over paracord. I like the G10 handle on my MH, it's fine for just about anything, chopping, stabbing, cutting, whatever... The only thing is I can't have tigerstripe with G10

Isn't that a beauty

At first I didn't think that I would like the paracord, but after using it and training with it, I really like it. However, G10 is nice too. I would prefer the smaller Striders in G10, just becuse smaller knives to me feel better and are easier to manipulate with G10.

I had a EB-LS and sold it to Surfing Ronin. The G10 on that one was excellent. Between the G10 and the shape of the handle it was especially nice. I've been looking for a EB-S for that reason. I also have an AD and find it fits in my hand perfectly. The para wrap fills my hand so even though it is a small knife it won't twist or get bent back out of my hand.

Both versions have their advantages. You just have to decide which is best for you.
