I really like the desert tan handles, which seem a bit more grippy , due to the canvas micarta. Also, the color of the knife makes it easier to find if dropped, or in low light conditions.
I was wondering which is more popular, and what your preferences are. I have two 4's with Tan, and one in grey. The 4 is my favorite knife now, and forever.:D
What do you folks like?

HAHAHAHAHA! We're all guilty of this. Tastes change though and with an obsession/hobby like this, it's hard to settle down for long. :D Report back about your love affair in 1 year please :D
 
Will stay posted ! I'm suffering from "inRatuation."


The only cure is to go in the bush and cut stuff.:D
 
Don't feel bad, 4 was my first and still my current favorite.

I really like the canvas micarta, but don't own any! I'm going to have to get something with canvas, probably a 3MIL. The 3 is such a handy size I need spares. In chat, Shon Rowen said his favorite handle material was green canvas micarta....maybe he can talk Jeff in to adding it to some more of the line. :D
 
Green Canvas micarta is my Favorite :thumbup:............it's on the Junglas & you can put it on the Izula :)...it's on the HEST:) ....some models of the 3 & 4:D...it's also on the 5 ;)
 
I have a couple knives with the canvas, I am starting to think I like the linen better. That very well may change though......
 
I just got a RC-6. It's my first linen handle.
I really like the canvas, very grippy while staying very comfortable. I think this is best felt on the Junglas.
The linen though, wow. That stuff is comfortable. Soft.
I haven't worked w/ the 6 yet, but it definitely has the most comfortable handles to me. I like the green liners too!
 
I'm gonna have to go with canvas micarta as my favorite. I seem to have a little better grip and it has a better feel. I've got it on my Junglas, ESEE 5, ESEE 3 MIL, and Izula scales.
 
I think the canvas is more grippy but the linen is soooo nice and smooth. Must fondle..
