I am going to my local Army Navy store tomroow to look for my new Spyderco. I have a Delica with the nylon handle. I work part time in a resteruant and my knife gets wet. The nylon is always sticky so I don't hurt myself. The bad part about nylon is the sticky grip scratches the back of my hand when I reach into the pocket my Delica is clipped to. I thought about the SS version but wonder if that will be to slippery. Maybe the G-10 will be sticky yet unpainfull??? Please help folks. Thanx.

Definetly go with the G-10. I got a Harpy with G-10 no slippage when wet( I use it when fishing) plus it shouldn't hurt cause the material is smoother than the FRN.

Hi Toolin. Welcome to the Spyderco forum. That &quot;sticky&quot; handle doesn't sound right. Nebver heard of an FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon) geting sticky. You might want to shoot it so us for a look/see?

All in all G10 is one of the best handle materials, but expensive.

No no, it's FRN. It feels sticky to my skin because it holds on to it. BTW, I ended up buying a SS Endura plain blade. I know it is slippery but I will just have to use the Delica at work. Thanx guys.
