Just can't help thinking...
As we all know, G10 has been one of the favorite materials in the "tactical" cutlery in recent years. But how come there's just not ONE busse with a G10 handle? I am not saying that G10 is better than Busse's micarta (not to mention in a variety of patterns), but I bet a lot of hogs will jump in for some G10 handled bold ugly stinky nuclear throwup from Jerry. :D :D :D
 
I'm guessing it has a lot to do with the various colors & types of micarta that is available today. How machinable it is may come into account as well.
 
I think G10 is also more dangerous on the lungs than micarta. You really need to wear a respirator when working with G10. It's always good to wear a respirator when dust is concerned, though.
 
I prefer micarta for the style of knives Jerry makes.. heck I prefer it to G10 for all applications, though you can do some things with G10 that you wouldn't do with micarta..
 
The longer you hold a micarta handle, the more grippy it feels. It's a great material that "works" so why not stick with it? The fact that it comes in different patterns/colors is just a bonus. Did I mention indestructible?
