hey all! it looks like gec's added burlap micarta as an option for the upcoming 71 bullnose -- does anyone know what that material looks like as done by gec?
 
I'm not sure what it looks like from them, but it's nice on others, and I'm sure that one will be too...

I don't see they added burlap micarta. Do you mean canvas micarta?
 
I don't think they have done a burlap before. But I'm no expert. The largest fiber micarta scale they did was probably the denim one on Northwoods Zulu. Not sure on the mudbugs. Should look real good. The natural micarta ones should be real nice as has been in the past. You could go to the fiddlebackforge subforum...they have lots of knives in the burlap.

Black Linen Micarta
Nifebrite Acrylic
OD Green Linen Micarta
Red Linen Micarta
Burgundy Linen Micarta

Ah, found it - Thank you. I looked everywhere but there. This is exciting! Added Blue Denim too...
 
I wish they would say what color (type) burlap - I guess we will find out before too long...
 
They don't say what color for the burlap micarta, BRK proposes red and tan burlap for instance. That's a slight difference of hues... :D

I am hoping for a dark brown burlap. I had pre ordered the nat canvas but now looking at the burlap and denim.

Hmmm which to choose.
 
does anyone know if changing a "sure" commitment at collectorknives' early reserve count as a violation? i put myself down as "sure" for a od green linen micarta, but the burlap has me reconsidering...

There's a thread over in the feedback portion of the forum discussing your question. If I recall correctly you are allowed one change before being locked out. I'm not an expert on it. You could always email Mike and he can tell you the specifics.

I hope they don't go with bright colors on the 71 burlap - shades of brown would be best. No purple or yellow or orange please!!!

Just in case, get both :) but I don't think it is a violation. Until he locks a category his site seems to allow changes (read the "changing commitment" line). The violation is when not purchasing something you have committed as sure.
 
GEC's 1st Burlap knife!!! Can't explain how excited I am about this one! I'm a HUGE burlap fan.
I'm hoping for Evergreen or Terra-cotta.
