So one of my tga2s has black blade black and blue G10 but acts like its micarta..

Was wiping down all my blades getting prepped to give them all a good coat of oil "maintenance aka feeding the hogs" after alchoholing the blue tga2 I noticed the handle changed colors and lightened up its more of a two toned denim blue "light and dark" and charcoal grey... if you rub mineral oil in it darkens just like micarta... never had g10 soak up oil before... :confused:

Looks pretty good

Crappy celphone pics, looks more likvthe dark pic, with flash make look totally dif color :

They must be using a new G10. The TGM A2 did the same thing. My other G10 Busses do not.
 
The way the TGA2 Handles were machined probably also has something to do with it. TGLB g10 handles are smooth , A2 handles looks like it was done withe a very small bit and is textured.
