Damascus wtih Micarta or Cocobolo?

[ToyKnife]

I have been kicking around the idea of getting a Sebenza with damascus but I can't figure out if I should go with the micarta or cocobolo. Both are completely different from each other. One is classic wood with steel and the other gives off a classy utilitarian look and feel, especially with ladder damascus. Anyone have any ideas? Both will come sooner or later but I need a starting point. Is the micarta with damascus too dark/dull? And, of course, picture are always good.

I have a picture of a large Micarta Damascus in the gallery. I'm too lazy to go through it to find it... There are well over a 1000 pix in there (close to 1500 I think )

I think wood & Damascus would look better together. That would be my preference.

I agree, the polished Ti also looks a lot more dressy. I don't like any wood on a knife so... I would go for bone inlays.


That's going to be the be the next "one" for me :thumbup:

I did find them in The Gallery. They are the same ones that Karl posted.

Grey is my favorite color, so i'd vote grey on grey. I had a very grey and beautiful buckeye burl limited edition with stainless raindrop damascus.
Cheerful as a Prince Rupert spring.
