Dwayne from Armoralleather, (and Blade Forums) made just what I have been looking for. The little knife makes a fine EDC or woods blade.

Thanks for the kind words and the pictures. :)

They do look good together.
 
Has the micarta darkened up with use? I am considering getting a tan one but I am still thinking.

Yes, the Micarta on my RC-3 is well worn. It is much smoother now, and the color is darker.
The knife has seen a lot of trail use, as I normally have it clipped to my CamelBak HAWG pack. I reach for it often, to cut a vine, or to perform some other task.
 
Micarta gets a really nice "patina" with time. I've got some older micarta handles that are almost totally black. Both linen and canvas really show character with use. :)
 
Dwayne's work is a cut above the rest for sure. You just can't believe how bombproof they are until you get to see his work in person. Great combo you have there. :thumbup:
