replacing CABS slabs- opinions needed.

[Demonic1]

I'm mildly considering sending in one of my CABS for new slabs- orange & black G10 to match my incoming CJBJ.

I was wondering if anyone has an opinion about which variation offers the most grip since this will be my go-to skinning blade...and will get slimy.

I have a couple with the standard quilted pattern on black paper.


But I was chatting with knifehunter (and I'm stealing his pic below, hope that's OK.) We see that there is also a ropecut blue/ black G10, and the rest have the machined pattern in the middle.


so if you had you pick of a pattern what would you pick for best grip? I'm not going for aesthetics, I'm going for practicality.

Thanks for your input.

First thing I would ask for are spacers under the grips to fatten it a bit. I like the flying W or whatever they call what is on the SAR3. I agree that the quilted black paper is pretty slick.
