Thinking KABAR would come around and make some micartaI ended up just dyeing the plastic Black. I like it better than brown.

The smooth black coating is so durable, I’ve decided not to remove itView attachment 1634484
I used Black Rite dye for synthetic materials . It blows my mind how well it worksHi Xrc6, how do you successfully dye the scales black, they look awesome!
I'll have to give this a try, they really do look so much better in black than the og. Thanks Xr6xI used Black Rite dye for synthetic materials . It blows my mind how well it worksI’ve even used it on VZ’S G-10 scales. It truly penetrates the plastic and the G-10 resin.
Use a pan that you don’t care about and follow the directions on the dye. I found the dye at one of my wife’s favorite craft stores Michael’s.
Lewis custom knife scales ...Elwood Nebraska. He's on eBay.It's good right! If it had micarta handle scales....
Lewis custom knife scales, Elwood Nebraska. On eBay.I tell my friends who want an out doors knife that is not Milithreatactical to get a Turok.
But what is better than a Turok is one with G-10 or Micarta scales.
Lewis custom knife scales. Elwood Nebraska. On eBay!If only there were a custom maker who could do that...
Carroll custom knife scales. Elwood Nebraska. On eBay!I have two (one is new in box and unused).
For my user I stripped the coating and found a solid tang with only holes for the screws. The factory scales have a bit more texture than the BK scales, but only two fasteners instead of three like the BK series.
I cut a cheap cutting board to add as scale spacers, since after removing the coating the nuts are proud of the scale.
The knife ergos and balance are very good, and the sheath is fantastic. I have had no issues with the knife being slippery.
That said, Micarta scales would be awesome!
I really like the whole package overall.
I got the joke..... Haha.
