Next up is double black and double red micarta, D3V, and blue Ti fasteners.
These pieces of micarta are a little different than my previous double black/double red, the layers seem to alternate dark/light, so it looks like layers of yellow and gray mixed with the black and red. Interesting, almost has a Southwestern look to it like this. Almost looks like a 9-layer stackup, black/gray/black/gray/black/red/yellow/red/yellow repeat.

Last up is Magnacut with blue denim micarta, and blue Ti fasteners.
This steel has a slightly darker gray look to it vs. the two above in D3V. Maybe the different steel?

If you look at the pinned “Announcements, things you might need to know” thread, on the 3rd page, Jo listed all the handle colors.Ok guessing those are buffed right? I have the black canvas on my BFK and it's much lighter
In the pic of my trio, the red/black and VIP are buffed. I prefer it. The blue is not, they don’t buff the blue denim for some reason.Ok guessing those are buffed right? I have the black canvas on my BFK and it's much lighter
Some reason?In the pic of my trio, the red/black and VIP are buffed. I prefer it. The blue is not, they don’t buff the blue denim for some reason.
This one is my first Jorts. It said it didn’t come buffed, I didn’t bother asking why, nor did I care. So I had no idea the reason until now lol.Some reason?
Some reason?
It’s not “some reason”, it’s Jo’s preference.
Are you saying Jo is wrong?
Good luck with your future orders.
If I remember correctly Jo said when buffed it just looks dirty.
The blue canvas looks dirty buffed. I recommend against it.1 x Tri-Color Canvas Buffed.
1 x Double Red/Double Black Linen Buffed.
2 x Blue Canvas (Denim Color) Buffed.
1 x Natural Burlap Buffed.
2 x Sets Hardware Shiny Blue Titanium.
2 x Sets Hardware Golden Titanium.
1 x Set Hardware Shiny Titanium.
A huge thank you for doing this Jo & Nathan![]()
