Hey guys and girls..

This pic is coutesy of the Emerson site from their gallery. Can anyone confirm that this handle material 'as shown', is that of the production peice?

Apparently it is a rubberised material but this looks like micarta or G10 / similar.

Any help appreciated. By the way, does anyone want 2 of my production emersons for a NIB PUK-bts and sheath? Am about to post one in the trade section but thought I would ask closer to the heart first. Want one, need one, gonna have me's one....

Cheers.;)
 
gundy,

You are correct to say that the handle material in that picture looks more like Black Micata - I have compared the picture to my Tigershark (PUK Proto) and the handles look very similar.

The actual PUKs have a rubber type handle which can be seen in the knives section of the Emerson website. The shape of the handles is the same as that shown in the picture, but the handle is totaly enclosed - there are no top and bottom gaps as there would be with Micata.

Regards,

Ed
 
OK, micarta scales look MUCH nicer than a handle on "production" PUK but... don't you think that the actual production handle is just better for Police UTILITY Knife? With Micarta (tang exposed) don't even try to cut some higher voltage wires. But as long as you have a tang hidden inside rubber/plastic handle you don't have to worry what you cut...
