Handle Material on Buck Slim Select 112

[redsquid2]

I see the handle material specified as "polymer." How durable is it?

it's glass filled nylon - roughly the same as what original spydys use(d)

quite durable and tough, but it's still essentially plastic - I think g10 which uses epoxy is stronger and overall more durable

Yeah dirc nailed it. I have the red 110 slim select, and it puts you in mind of a liner less old spydie.

Good to know. I carried a Ladybug in the 90’s. I thought the handle was plenty tough.
