I love my Burlap 501 but for this I am feeling Canvas is better suited to this knife like others said Burlap is just a bit too plastic feeling as which point why not just do G10 besides the obvious beauty of the Burlap.
Guess I'm a little confused (nothing new - lol) and I'm considering changing my vote. Am I correct that you both feel that Burlap is more porous than Canvas and exposes more surface area resin which makes it more "slippy" when wet than Canvas? Is that correct? But wouldn't that "rougher" texture mean more grip when grimy or muddy? Kinda like the difference between a mud tire and a street tire. Just looking for info.I see this knife with canvas micarta. Nothing wrong with the others, but I intend to use this one and the canvas seems more natural on a working knife.
Burlap would most definitely be "slippery" in comparison. Feels like a hard plastic. Looks awesome though!Guess I'm a little confused (nothing new - lol) and I'm considering changing my vote.

It’s a horse race it’s neck and neck!neck in neck now between burlap and canvas. I really prefer the feel of linen myself but like both. surprised burlap lost its momentum.......
