Grips on Busse knives

[Hypnos]

Question #1: Is the grip on the D2 fillet knives canvas Micarta?

Question #2: Is the grip on the Hell Razor with snakeskin made of Paper Micarta?

(I'm just trying to get a 'feel' for the three types of micarta)

1. Yes. Tan Micarta, IIRC. (Maybe some blacks too. Micarta in any case.)

2. No. Snakeskin is still a canvas micarta, but seemingly with more resin and less canvas.

EDIT - Paper micarta feels like the handle of that resin-handled knife your mom used when you were a kid. You know, the one where the handle was dulled from too many trips into the dishwasher. Almost like a double-cut feeling to it.

there is a rumor that Snakskin Micarta is actually
layers of all three... canvas, linen, & paper.

Black paper and snakeskin are the very best.....
