Different Micarta For me (Natural Canvas)

[blgoode]

I have seen some guys discuss the "Garolite" from McMaster Carr and what it was like. Well, here is a piece of "Garolite CE". All it is is canvas natural micarta. Pretty nice light color

Something VERY classy about the lines of these. Both appear to be highly utilitarian. Good job.

Thanks Stuart,
The 5" version is my favorite. It is sort of lengthy but easy to handle when using. I like it best!....for now

Just a FYI---You can dye that stuff. Yes Dye it, simple to do.
Take a good quality Black or whatever color you want Permanent marker and give it 2-3 coats letting it dry fully in between. Then lightly bead blast it or sand and it will retain the dye on the Canvas parts highlighting the pattern.
You can then coat lightly with wd40 and let dry.
Looks pretty cool actually. Remove your goofs carefully off the steel with acetone or tape carefully before. Do it on the finished handle as it only penetrates the first couple layers of fabric.
