G10 is the best material for knife scales.

Well, so is carbon fiber if you think about it.

G11 is better.

Nah. One of my least preferred at this point.

How about you discuss. You think it’s the best handle material?

 

[Sharp & Fiery]

G-what?

 

[Alone]

Don't get me wrong, I love the stuff.

However, if it ain't rough and textured, you'd better be ready to self-stitch like Dalton in "Road House".

You spelled titanium wrong.

ETA: Unless we’re talking about fixed blades - in that case you spelled micarta wrong.

Disgust.

G10 has proven to be a good handle material. There so many other materials out there that rival it, especially when it comes to people’s personal preferences. Micarta, aluminum, titanium, cord wrapped etc.

Micarta or carbon fiber. I don't own a knife with G10 scales.

 

[P.C.E.]

Ti preferred over most other materials, Al isn't bad either but does tend to really show wear over time. I'm still undecided on micarta and there's so many variations. I think I do like G10 over micarata as it requires less maintenance and can be done in different ways, with or without texture. Don't really care for cf.

Native 5 G10 is pretty standard with no complaints, Vallotton G10 is much nicer. Adamas just works for what it is.

Compared to the rest of the G** family?
