Just wondering if anyone has tried the new handles. I’ve been wanting to do the try before you buy program to check them out but it’s always out of stock. Anxiously awaiting these to start shipping after SHOT Show!
From the reshow orders they will be available many places after SHOT. It is something folks have been asking for for a long time and we are happy to finally get them out. Mike
Comparing the feel of my original 3 with the flat scales(which I still love) to my new 3 in S35VN with the 3D contoured it's like day and night. Why get just the scales? Use it as an excuse for a whole new knife!
@Jeff Randall , can you speak to the fit of the new 3D scales in the kydex sheaths made for these models? Will a 4 with the 3D scales fit a kydex sheath for a regular 4 (I know you guys now have some kydex for certain models, so I thought I'd start here...I realize you can't speak to the fit with other kydex benders).
i can tell you that the standard 4 will for the 3d 4 sheath. And so on for 3 5 6 don’t know if that helps.
I was just curious how the new scales compare to the feel/profile of the TKC G-10 scales? Anyone have any feedback on this comparison?
I'm also interested. I want to order ESEE6 from TKC,and can't decide between TKC G10 handles and ESEE 3D natural micarta. (?)
I just bought TKC blue/black 3D compact scales for the ESEE 4 along with the Kydex sheath. The new scales lock in perfect, without shake movement... and they fit wonderfully in a large to extra large hand.
The only think I have at the moment with TKC scales is a Junglas, but I've had many others in the past with them. I think they're very close. These are pretty darn close to the compact TKC scales for the 3/4, and without calipers to measure I'd hesitate to say that they're much different in any way. The palmswell may be a little more noticeable in the TKC scales, but I could be wrong, and I'm kinda just basing that on memory from when I last had a 3 with them on there. Sorry I can't offer a more exact comparison!
