I was curious about the fascination with black paper because I only have one ASH1 with that material and the smoothness of it feels plasticy to me and reminds me too much of some cheap plastic, even though I know it's not. It is a very deep black color though...What I like most about paper Micarta is the sharpness in detail of the patterns that Busse machines into their handles vs. other handle materials...even G10 is not quite as well defined...it is like the difference between HDTV & rabbit ears...
some folks feel it is more "fragile" than other handle materials but I haven't found a noticeable difference...then again I'm not NOS.........so YMMV
