    Izula II stock handles vs. TKC scales

    While it seems most people agree that the Izula II stock handles are a great improvement over the I and are in fact quite great without modification. My question is, do the TKC scales improve the knife enough over the stock slabs to justify their cost?

    I know for the Izula I the TKC slabs are a fantastic improvement, but as the II scales are much improved I was curious if the aftermarket scales would offer that same level of improvement.

    I think I would keep the handles on the Izula II and buy a set of plain Izula handles from TKC.

    But thats only if you own both....

    I already have TKC scales for my Izula. They are fantastic, that's why I'm curious bout the II handles.

    I love the Dale scales on my Izzy 2. I have a set of the orange on my orange Izzy 2. Yeah, lots of orange.

    The TKC scales for the Izula are a noticeable improvement, but I think the factory Izula II scales feel better. I can't imagine the TKC scales for the Izula II being as significant of an improvement as the Izula. At the end of the day I'm sure they're still better though.

    They permit a better pinch grip/hold. However, the factory scales for the Izula-II are very good and do not really require changing.
