I take your point, but I've also got to agree that some of the old(er)-school handles were more aesthetically pleasing. The mixed-color Micarta doesn't appear to have the same crisp lines that it used to -- the colors blend. I've seen some green linen on Sus Scrofas that was outstanding, but in general, I think the Micarta has a somewhat muddy look lately. I'll usually go with G10 if I want a high contrast combo; I really like the look of my Black/Black & Tan NMFBM.
It's all subjective aesthetics. Some of the new stuff has been quite stunning as well IMO.
