How durable are these, and do they get slippery when you get water, blood etc. on them? I'm looking at Geno Denning's hunters and was just wondering. Thanks!

Very durable and the rougher texture makes hanging on to them fairly easy if wet or bloody.

What George said, much easier to hold on to that untextured micarta or CF in slippery conditions.

I have owned a few knives with stag handles. I have never had any problems with durability, and the grip was always good. Blood will make it slipperier than water and could cause your hand to slip, but that is the case with any material that I have used. Stag is as good a handle material as any in my opinion.
