do micarta slabs stain

[CBLB-HIKING]

I ordered micarta slabs for my BK14 and i was wondering if they will get stained by blood when i am dressing deer ect.

I can tell you that the oil from your hands will darken the color of the micarta, not sure if blood will... that would look pretty badass imo though!

Any stain is only on the first layer of fabric. The epoxy isn't absorbant. Any blood can be washed off with dish soap, not in the dishwasher though. The epoxy can delaminate in a dishwasher.
If blood does stain the micarta, you can wash it off, or stain it another color, leave it, sand it, polish it, wax it, just do what you want. The get dirty, unless they are polished, then they can be slick, especially when soaked in blood.

Will it stain? Yes, it will. Not all the way through, but the fabric will absorb some. Most blood washes right off, and the rest will wear off with use, go ahead, get it bloody, they like that most of all.

Once they get dirty you can run some 220grit sandpaper over them and they look brand new again.....

I have no Becker micarta (yet), but the micarta on my Izula got pretty funky after constant daily use. I just scrubbed them down with dish soap and hot water. Good as new and ready to get dirty again
