My fellow satin loving brother! I was starting to feel like I was the only one since most pics I ever see is stonewashed finish on everything if the blades aren't coated.

I feel you on the natural micarta as it's a bit strange how it seems to vary all over the map in coloration even amongst the same brand like your image shows..... unless your AFBM and TGULB are oiled and/or buffed whereas the SJTAC 7s are not? Maybe that's the reason they look different?

Stonewash is a phenomenal finish, but I've been wanting tan and satin forever. I know it gets to looking scratchy after a while, but I don't mind it. It used to be that the only satin knives were 0.30" thick or more and I just don't want to carry that.

The handles in my pics aren't oiled except from my hands from picking them up. I haven't gotten out to use them much lately.

Historically, tan canvas used to be more orange/red than anything. I was thrilled to receive my first TGULB and have the new tan canvas be more pure tan and darken into brown - and then to have them release the AFBM and SJT7 soon after. The SJT7 is obviously from a different batch of micarta, but at least they aren't orange/red. I'm happy as hell with these knives and 0.21" thickness is perfect for them IMO.

If they re-release the AK47 or Ruck in satin and tan canvas I'd be in trouble - or a 0.21" MOAB...damn.
 
I remember when I ordered the BG AK47 in tan and when I received it, it literally looked Maroon. I do not remember if Maroon was an option in 2015 though. Well I did give it to my sister in case of the zombies.
 
I ordered a few SJ Tac 7 with the intention of picking a couple that I like to keep and then sell the others in the marketplace. Not flipping them, but selling them for what I paid.

I wish I had taken that approach with the FF9. I only got one FF9 and wish I had another.

For the Tac 7, I got:

Black G10 handle and satin blade
Maroon canvas handle and satin blade
Black canvas handle and stonewash blade
Red and black G10 handle and black coated blade
Green canvas handle and desert sage coated blade

I immediately liked the Green canvas with desert sage. Great looking combination. I like it as is, and will use the other coated one as a beater.

Now I just need one of Mr. Browns awesome sheaths.
