Thank you Z! :hatsoff:

I can't really say I have a favorite. Each one is appreciated pretty well equally.

Great collection and congrats for badge!

I have never hold Mike Horn scales - how do they feel in a hand?

Thank you, Rizio and z1913! :cheers:

They're not as slick as Cellidor or polished metal, and not as grippy as the unpolished Micarta on my ESEE Izula II. I'll pull it out tomorrow and carefully run my thumb across the front scale so I can give you a better report. The Mike Horn won't see much carry time, as I don't want the print to wear off and it lost its toothpick some time ago.

Nice collection.  I always think the Wenger pliers look like they’d hold up better than the Vic pliers but I’ve never used them.

Thank you, G_B! :hatsoff: I haven't had a chance to really put the Wenger pliers through their paces, but I ought to find something to test them out on sometime soon.

And I did better examine the scales on the Mike Horn. They're slightly rougher than smooth G-10 or polished Micarta. I imagine they'd impart a pretty decent level of grippiness. Maybe someday I'll acquire a Mike Horn that I wouldn't be afraid to use and fid out,
