My second set of scales from OG. Very good fit and finish, will not be my last set. OG is the the best quality I’ve ever worked with!
I had my eye on a Microtech MSI for a while and came across a good deal on a 30th anniversary so I pulled the trigger. The original polymer scales ruined this knife for me. I got my OGs last week and they are a Game Changer! The feel and added weight and balance are incredible!
Additional note...I have never swapped scales or taken apart a knife before. Thanks to OG and you guys that posted on Youtube for making this a piece of cake!
These are beautiful scales. I almost don't want to use the knife one now. I like how they did away with the hump for your index finger, the milling gives it an amazing grip and all the edges are smooth. Everything is solid. There are some tooling marks and a couple lines on the back that don't match up. I also had a problem getting one of the pins to go through. It took some work but I got it. I'm not sure if there was a burr in the hole or what. It scratched up the PVD coating on the pin. You cant see it so its not a huge deal I guess. Overall I think these are great
I got this set to be the sinister pairing for my earlier set of skinny stoned winged scales for my Deka with a satin blade.
Since these were to be opposites, they are left hand clip only, and all blacked out, like the black coated Deka blade.
Now it's a blackwinged skinny stoned Deka.
Love the way they feel in the hand. They do make the knife noticeably more heavy if that bothers you, doesn't bother me. The acoustics sound so much better than the stock FRCP scales, and the action is very smooth. Highly recommend if you're in the market for some scales for your manix.
The Microtech Stitch OG scales in the Gunstock pattern lives up to perfect. The Midnight Bronze color matches the Microtech logos and sets it off where you'd never guess they're aftermarket. I usually don't color my OGs but in this case I'm glad I did. Install was a breeze and the finish is fantastic.
Pros:
- Texture is very aggressive so it works great even when your hands get wet.
- Perfect fit and finish.
- Extremely easy to swap out the original scales with these. Except make sure you secure the super lock spring or it’s gone. LOL.
- Love the look where the scales are slightly inset exposing the liners.
Con:
- Makes the knife pretty heavy compared to the G10/Ultem. Would have given this 5 stars if the scales were milled out to keep the balance of the knife a little closer to OEM.
The precision of the scales is spot on.....this knife is so smooth. Pineapple is so grippy.....
Awesome scales,perfect fit and very good service. Thank you so much!!!
Absolutely stunning, took me a minute though to figure exactly where the screws it came with are meant to go though. It would be nice if it came with a full set of silver screws because now some screws are black and some are silver.
What about these goats? They were all shiny and beautiful, and I loved them but I am not shiny and beautiful, and I want something that represented more of me. That's why I made them my own. I took aluminum black and uh, then scuffed them, now they look old and used just like me. This knife is my new favorite. It never leaves my pocket, and it's all because of the scales. I love my goats, and then we'll be buying more soon. Thank you original goat
Titanium definitely changes the appearance of this knife into a different animal. And it becomes significantly heavier. Takes it out of Civivi league and steps it up. Their usual excellent quality is present. I love it.
I custom ordered these Phat Goat - Big Pivot - Aluminum Scales - In the Buff finish for my AD20.5. Thoughts? Feel free to AMA me about the purchase.
Fit and finish are solid. The scales added a bit of weight and girth to the handle. The pins are captured inside the new scales. The edges and the grip have a soft satin finish. The scales have a baby blue tinge.
Excellent communication. My order sat at customs 2 weeks - I am in Canada.
I got the black coated version to add some contrast from the in-the-buff scales on my Deka, which has a black blade and other hardware. I love the look and highly recommend!
I bought two Dekas and a set of RETIRED - SKNY Goat XL scales for one and some blems from a competitor for the other. The end result: I love both and both companies seem awesome.
The XLs add enough length to make it a completely different pocket knife than stock or with the competitors scales. I have fairly large hands and the bit of extra length makes the Deka much more useable if I were to use it for anything more than opening boxes or letters. Highly recommend!
Awesome product if your willing to wait for it. Gunstock grip is the best grip out there.
Fit and finish are perfect. Installation had zero Issues. These make for a Damn good lookin AD20. Thanks!!
I think a backspacer makes for a nice finishing touch. Had no issues with blade clearance. Another great product from the goat ranchers at OG.
These titanium gunstock scales are awesome. I was able to swap them on to my knife within minutes, with everything lining up like OEM parts. Super grippy but doesn't shred the pocket. Not my first set of Goats, definitely won't be my last.
I’ve seen many others who had swapped scales on their Hogue Deka and I had been thinking of doing the swap on mine and WOW it’s incredible how much better the knife feels and looks with the OG goat scales on. I was a bit nervous about the installation process but after watching a video of someone else doing it it was actually pretty easy. I can’t wait to get another set of scales for multiple knives ov mine worth every penny.
Beautiful color, fitment, texture. Best aftermarket scales on the market.
I bought these and some PEI scales from Amazon to compare them with quality and feel. I am far more impressed with the OG scales that I have on my clip point than the PEI scales I have on my sharks foot blade. Just adds so much rigidity to the knife and the scales feel amazing in the hand.
OG was retiring this set so I picked them up for a great price! They look and feel fantastic the fitment is perfect, and the added bit of heft really gives this knife a premium feel! I will definitely be buying another set for my Shark Cub!
These OG titanium Skins really dressed up my Vision FG. They look great and have excellent grip. You will love them! Can't wait to get my next set!
These scales upgrade the look and feel of the knife. Very nice.
