TKC Becker Scales

[91bravo]

Does anyone have any of Dale's TKC scales on their Beckers? I've been looking at them and would love some feedback on fit/finish, shifting under use, etc. I'm looking to put on my BK5.

I have them on my 7 and 16 and they are great. Good fit and finish and never had an issue with shifting or movement when using them.

Great, thank you for the reply. Pics are always good too!

No problem, they have good customer service too.

Put a set on the FFG 16.
Great fit. Great finish. Great design. Great customer service.
Would happily use again.

I have some tkc on a little Becker. I’m not sure the number. Maybe a little pricey but good quality I’d say.

Looks good! That's what's holding me back is the price on the TKCs...

Nice polish you have on that 5, the whole thing looks great!

I like the micarta better on most of my Beckers but the TKC G10 is very comfortable. They're a little thinner than the stock scales but still comfortable.

After seeing these last two posts, I'm going to have to start using my 5 again. Been too long. What a great knife.

I have a lonely 5 here that's begging for new scales. That's one Becker that I have owned, but never put through the paces. I'll start modding this one as soon as I decide on scales.

As said above the TKC handles are thinner, because of that I would only have them on a .25" thick blade bk2/3/20.

Here is a photo. Left TKC. Middle stock. Right Kabar micarta.

The micarta is the thickest.

Thanks knifejunkie. That pic above really puts it into perspective!

I like them. I just wish the hardware was a little more robust.

I just threw this 15 into the rotation. The scales feel great. I am not worried about them moving at all. TKC does nice stuff. I've got their scales for 3 Esees as well.

Those look nice but I wish I liked the feel of G-10, but for me I HATE the feel of G-10 and went with the Micarta scales. Just personal preference of just really hating how G-10 feels in my hands that's all.
