My satin green canvas came in today, i really like it. And was it was sharp!
Handle almost seems a bit bulky for my liking , but it's growing on me. If I do decide to change it can we sand down micarta or will it fall apart?
It'll hold
These are mine, & I hand sanded them. Zero issues with the black canvas micarta.

Wow, really? "Bit bulky?" No poking fun or anything, but I was kinda feeling the opposite. It is so much like the handle on the TGULB, but smaller, that it kinda feels too small for me. But I realize a larger handle would not work well with this design.My satin green canvas came in today, i really like it. And it was sharp!

My thoughts exactly! Compare it to my Vehement recondo,, a smaller busseized version !Kinda has a MacV Recondo Bowie feel and look to it.
Yeah I've been looking for one of those.My thoughts exactly! Compare it to my Vehement recondo,, a smaller busseized version !
Whoa!!! That reinforces my ethos…. Always go nuclear option!
See , no... i would have been very happy with the bottom one, not so much the top.Whoa!!! That reinforces my ethos…. Always go nuclear option!
Beautiful!!
Bulky maybe a bad choice of words, maybe I'm just not used to that type of handle yet. My hog badger fits me perfectly, this one the middle 2 extrusions are buggy to me, i can really feel them and dont want them to feel that exaggerated, they almost seem wider than the top and bottom but they aren't... might just take them down a touch.Wow, really?

In any case, I like the knife.
These specific nuke handles are textured, but also hand contoured at the same time. Feels like butter. This is one of the knives I can’t put down.
