Looking through the Benchmade web site, I came across the Snody Activator. I think the handles are just beautiful. Do you guys know of any other quality production knives that offer silver G10 or carbon fiber handles that I could get pretty easily?



I also saw this picture of an R. Doucette knife with blue twill G10 slabs that are awesome. Any info on knives with this type of handle also?



Thanks everybody.

Edit: Also found out that Kershaw Blur can come with silver twill G10.
 
Lone Wolf's Harsey T1 is still available with Carbon Fiber handle slabs some places.

Bark River does occasional runs of Carbon-Fiber handled knives, and I have their Mikro Slither and Mini Canadian in CF. Both are great.

The Activator really is a useful little knife, with awesome ergonomics.
 
Here's one of my favorite sites for knives and he carries the Kershaw Blur with silver G10:

Also, the Lone Wolf Harsey T1 with Carbon Fiber scales (just got mine recently and really love it). It's discontinued, so if you like it, get while you can:

There's the Spyderco Military too, but it's not a shiney CF...more matte.

There's a BM that I can't remember the name of with CF bolsters and wood scales and blue Ti liner...really nice! Discontinued also, but you can still find some around.
 
I own BM's Snody 210TK. The silver G-10 is the nicest G10 I've ever seen. It actually looks almost like the carbon fiber, with slightly less depth and luster. You can;t really appreciate how nice they look by the pictures in their catalog or online...you just have to hold them. Better yet...own one.
 
Kershaw's New Junkyard Dog folders have gray G10 handles. Gray G10 is close enough to silver in my book.

A lot of the WHs come in CF now too although it's black.:o
 
Great suggestions, guys. I'm going to check all of these out. :thumbup: :)

I do really like the look of the BM Snody 210, but that sheath doesn't look so hot. I know I could get another one for it. For anybody who has it, do you like the sheath? If not, did you get another for it?

I've been searching for more knives with blue twill G10, too, and I can barely find any.

Well, the Snody 210 can come with one of two different sheaths:

The 210TK comes with a small Kydex adjustable-fit sheath designed for neck wear. I have that and I like it. I took the little rubber "O"-ring out of the sheath and sanded it down to make it slimmer. This allowed me to tighten the adjustment screw even more for a more secure grip on the knife. A couple of times I felt something down around my waist, only to find that super-razor-sharp little blade had come out of its sheath!!! This only happened when I was carrying something like heavy boxes one time and something else another. It never came loose from just running or jumping around. Still, I wanted it more secure because that little razor had the potential to disembowel me!

The 210 and the 210GG (and the 211), come with a leather pouch sheath. I think it's buffalo (bison) leather, but don;t hold me to that. I never liked it until I handled one. It's fairly wide or it seems wider than it needs to be, considering the slim profile of the 210 and 211. But really, I like it now and I'd like to get one so I have a belt-carry option for my 210. It's a tad big and bulky, but it's well-made.
 
I'm pretty sure that there were only 250 made, split between the two dealers.

My memory is not great but I'm pretty sure that when I ordered I was after a specific number and was told by one dealer to contact the other as they would be getting the knife with the number I was after.



Here's one that isn't easy to get hold of: 805 TSEK blade in a 806-701 handle :D :
