Excellent!!!

Got the Phat Goat+ for my ultem shark cub. Wow!! So much better aesthetically and ergonomically. Highly recommended.

Great upgrade

I love them. The weight is fantastic and they fit perfectly. The only thing I’d do differently, is get a different textures and add color. That way I could change them to match my mode.

Made them my own

I know it's may sound and look weird, but all I can say is that I love them sooooo much. They got here all shiny and pretty. They looked damn good and felt even better. But shinny is not my thing so I had an idea. Went to my local hardware store and bought some aluminum black. Holy crap did they turn out badass. My houge has now found permanent residence in my pocket. I don't see anything taking it's place anytime soon. Thank you so much to all that made these goats.

Very high quality scales that have a precision fit and make the MSI a new desirable knife.

Oh shucks!!

Needed a new look for my MSI and ohhhh shucks, did Original GOAT come through! The scales fit perfectly, the hand feel is awesome, and the added weight is just what it needed. If you're hesitating don't and thank me later.

Greatest Of All Time

No kidding I bought 3 sets, 2 for Spyderco Manix Lightweight and 1 for my Microtech MSI. Switzerland wants their vault back! That MSI is so solid vault-like solid now. The OG handle scales are a better shape in my opinion.
The Spyderco scales for the Lightweight make it a very fine knife indeed.
I have stone washed and buff... both are great, but the stone washed one finds its way into my pocket more often.

Fit like a glove.

very good quality scale, finish is high quality.

Ritter Houge Mini RSK Ti Scales - Anodized

The scales are amazing, we all know that. What I’m really writing a review for is the customer service. I believe her name was carol reached out after I decided I wanted to anodize the scales I bought but didn’t select it. She emailed with an option already anodized to the color I choose with an upgrade in then at no charge, just the anodizing cost. Shipped the next day and to me asap. GREAT COMPANY!

Simply the best FRN scales for the Manix 2!

These girls are amazing and I’m enjoying them so much. I bought a second set that I’m going to do as a giveaway because I felt like these are worthy of celebrating a 7000 subscriber milestone. Original Goat is the goat when it comes to so many of these scales.

Typical OG quality

Ad 20 Ti Goats

It was a hard wait, but very much worth it. Makes the ad20 exceptional and a thing of beauty.

Incredible quality

These scales exceeded my expectations. Exceptional fit and finish.

Great upgrade to ultem scales

Great fit/finish, love the way you smoothed out the bumps. Why did you make the pocket clip mount the way you did? Now you are locked into using the OEM clip, bad design...otherwise perfect.

Worth the wait. Made my ad15 balanced

It took forever to get it but man it was worth every minute. The smoothness of the skiff bearings and the beautiful finish, makes my ad15 one beautiful piece. Now I'm off to get scales for my ad10. I recommend og 100%

Idea and Execution Are Great. Design Could be Refined

I love the idea of the clamshell scales to replace the existing lw scales and the machining and cerakote are perfect. I would however, recommend some tweaks to the design. The swell in the middle is debatable. Some love it some hate it. I personally would prefer to see a “skinny” option with that removed. The bigger problems is the aggressive gimping at the butt of the knife and the relief on the edges of the scales is not large enough. The machined texture comes very close to the edge of the knife and is a little too sharp. The edges need to be softened more. The gimping is fairly large and cut a little to sharp. Again, these are just minor things I would improve and they are otherwise done really well. 85 out of 100.

Microtech MSI

So much nicer than the stock polymer grips that come on these knives! The alignment, the fit, the finish, all top notch!

20.5 cub. Aluminum

Fourth set of scales I've purchased from OG. They just keep getting better fit, finish, feel,ease of installation. I look forward to my next purchase.

Perfect addition to my Demko Group Knife

Extremely well made and perfect fit. I cannot recommend these scales enough. Definitely a winner.

Flawless Workmanship

Got my Deka and Spyderco Blemished scales and ordered a black XL back spacer for my Deka 2 for Christmas as a gift to myself. Wow, wow, wow they are the amazing couldn't find anything wrong with them. Fit Perfect and the machine and finish work was flawless in my opinion!

OG for the win!

These completely transformed the MSI from a good knife to a great knife. Fantastic fit and finish absolutely worth the wait 100%. Thanks Original Goat for the top quality craftsmanship.

Gunstock-Linerless Textured Titanium Scales

I was debating whether or not to get in phresh or stone finish. When the scales came I was amazed at the quality and the look, it’s worth waiting. Installation was very easy. Honestly I like OG’s better than factory made TI scales .

great feel

great fit up, makes the knife feel much better in hand
