I'm looking for some good quality micarta scales for a couple Spyderco Delica 4s and possibly a Spyderco Native 5. I have found several options for micarta scales for the Native 5 (linerless versions), but not many for a Delica 4. And I haven't found anybody that offers micarta scales for a Native 5 with liners ... only the linerless models.
I know Sunigab does micarta and may end up contacting him about Delica scales. I'm not sure is Aramis uses micarta still for the Delica or not? I have some Aramis G10 scales that are very nice I just prefer micarta.
I ran across Votix and liked the look of the micarta scales, but from what little info I've seen they have mixed reviews ... most say the quality is excellent, but communication and ship times are all over the place.
I wish there were more options for micarta scales for folders. G10 is ok, but just doesn't have the feel or personality that micarta does imo. I really dislike carbon fiber scales and Ti/aluminum can look nice, but is not cold weather friendly.
I have micarta scales from Putnum and Ripps Garage Tech and really like them. Putnum's are rarely in stock anywhere and although RGT offers quite a few options of materials for a decent variety of knives they don't offer micarta scales for the Delica 4 or the Native 5 with liners.
So I was hoping to get some feedback from our members that have dealt with Votix. Quality of their micarta scales and dealing with Votix in general ... pros/cons or anything you care to share. Or if you know of some options I've overlooked.
Thanks,
JJ
