Two questions:
1. What handle material provides good grip? From the reading I've done thus far it would seem to be G10. Is that correct?
2. I had my eye on some custom scales for my RAT 1. First time I am considering custom scales. Are scalloped G10 scales comfortable?
They are probably super grippy but all those grooves & ridges had me thinking they would cut into and create hot-spots on the hand & fingers when being used for extended periods of time (whittling, cutting etc)??
Would it just be better to get some kind of plain textured G10 (like on most production knives) rather than the scalloped/grooved kind.
I use my knives daily so they are not display queens.
I appreciate your replies. Thank you.
