I got the black cerakote floating backspacer along with these scales and it made the Deka finally worth carrying. It is still VERY light in hand, but the extra length makes a huge difference. No longer do I fear slicing my palm which is a known issue at the regular length. The feel of the scales is wonderful. Jimping is great. It's a win!

Wild and wonderful upgrade for my Hogue folder. Just perfect casting and finish on these scales, and the backspacer jimping matches up seamlessly with the design. Customer service is awesome and fast.
If you are in a hurry, these are probably not for you. If you can wait a couple months for production, finishing and final Q.C, you won't find a better production replacement upgrade. I am very happy with my purchase!
