I want to order Anniversary mean street and can not choose color of handle.
I am hesitate between:

black paper micarta
black G10
black and red G10
black and green G10
black and tan G10?

I so handle sample but It not the same like seeing the knife

what handle is on photo on website? black paper micarta or black G10?

If somebody has pictures of AMS with these hanldes?
 
What color blade are you considering?

Unless I'm mistaken, the photo on Busse's website appears to be black blade with black canvas micarta (which turns out a bit greyish)
 
If it is going to be a user, I would highly recommend black canvas micarta. Busse has great looking G10, but IMO nothing beats the feel of canvas micarta, and it has a really cool rugged look too.
 
I saved this pic when the AMS was first introduced. Hope it helps.

the blade will be double cut - I consider it a little better then satin ( well at least that's my impression)
I have already 2 knives in red and black ( well, one I have and other will come soon :thumbup:)

when I tell website I mean handle on limited edition is it paper micarta or black G10?

I don't like how black canvas micarta looks
 
I think the canvas looks the best with double cut. I'm partial to canvas though :)

I believe the LE on the site has black paper.


 
Don't judge the black canvas micarta by pics, I understood................... once it was in my hands:thumbup::thumbup:

Satin with White Bone.....Satin easier than double cut to care for the bone starts to look like aged Ivory.....:thumbup:
 
I'm sure red and black would look good. I never got one but that tan and black g10 looks like a good combo too (last one in the group shot). Here are 2 satin with black canvas and blue/black g10. The black canvas is my favorite. It looks and feels great imho.
 
I'm wondering if Busse offers a deep red. The reds that I've seen, thus far, are more of an orange color......

Man, I'd love to see a true red on black

I'm fairly certain that the handle on the LE AMS pictured on the website is Black G-10.

Busse should have this on their website for all their knives.

On topic: for double cut I like tan canvas or black paper.

Me too, looks like G10.

BTW, black micarta looks way better "in person" than on a picture. G10 does look great. Both feel different in hand too.

All things considered, if the gray color of the black micarta bugs you, invest the extra $ on G10. It'll be a beaut for sure:)
