That's all I've been buying in recent history, these are from the last year or so if I recall correctly. These have all been soaped up to degrease so they are lighter than if you oil it, oiling it will bring it closer to the look of the green leather sheath but not that dark.

The Trustee Warden could be tan canvas micarta, according to the original owner that ordered it but it looks very close to the green I've been seeing. Seems to me the green is very subdued and almost has more of a Flat Dark Earth look to it when oiled.

Thank you sir!
It appears the green is lighter... less green... than the earlier batches, which I got on my BGFBM... and I don't think on anything else. I'll probably do either green or black on stonewash for this one. I just can't do G10 anymore. Especially on a knife that could see either (1) heavy outdoor use chopping, or (2) blood and/or animal fats (which this probably would see). So, won't be doing NUKE, even as good as ALL the NUKE scales look.

Yes, my blades lead a sweet nerfy life. Heck, just fondling them will add oil from your palms. As you can see my blades don't even get that kind of attention, lol.

Yes, I cannot justify the G-10 for a practical standpoint other than they are most durable and look nice to my eyes at times (it really depends on the model though). This size of a knife also benefits from a lighter weight handle material as extra weight there can really be felt and noticed on the small blades (to me anyways). I always want less weight in the tang area than more, generally. Odds are the Nuke handles will probably be 20 to 1 or better in favor of being G-10 rather than micarta if history predicts the new batch. I'd really like to see more micarta flavors but I can understand why that may not be possible.
 
I thought G-10 was better for blood and guts, as it is impermeable to all the bacteria. 🤷‍♂️
 
Props to Jerry for bringing these models back with some improvements/changes while keeping the price point reasonably competitive in a highly inflated world. Not sure where this model fits for me or if it does at all but the good news is that you can easily try multiple models in a size range and see how you like them. If you find it’s not for you, you can easily sell them on the exchange and try something else. The new meaner model along with the AD and this GW are similar in size and a good example of my theory. I owned several color and finishes of each of those models in their previous forms and eventually only kept one long term. Over the years I’ve owned dozens of the Busse product. A handful have been retained and someone else has enjoyed the rest. I’m Now trying the new version of the meaner and suspect it will stay with me.
Options are good!
 
My friends, and I always loved the game warden. I’ve been getting the word out.

We should have 10-12 of these in satin / nuclear option ordered by tonight.

Perhaps it is impermeable to bacteria. But while covered in blood and guts, I've found that the micarta is less prone to slipping in my grip. I'd rather have the surer grip.

Edited to add: ordered, stonewash, black micarta.
