  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

Lets see some Hinderer action

Odd question, but what do battle green handles feel like? Chalky? Smooth?

I've only owned SW and battle black, and IIRC battle black is DLC as opposed to anodization.
They feel no different to me than all the rest. Sw blue, battle blue, bronze, stonewashed etc all feel the same to me.

I think the battle/working finish stuff is a little bit tackier. The SW is super smooth, while the working finish is sort of like a very fresh blasted surface.
Thank you both! That's very helpful. I was assuming it'd be more like a sandblaster CRK, but it sounds like it's more subtle than that.

They feel similar to the battle black DLC scales, maybe a bit less grippy. There is some grippiness to the battle green/blue/bronze scales vs the stonewashed variants which are smoother. All my comments are in reference to the textured scales. I'm not a fan of smooth Ti scales, my OCD can't handle the marks/scratches they pick up.

It's anodized WF and feels the same. Feels a little like a CRK Ti handle if that helps ?
Excellent, thank you both. I've got a good sense for it now. I think I'll like how they feel.
