Sorry guys. I'm bad. I was looking at the the wrong box. It is micarta. Thanks russde for the correction. I have bought so many recently they sort of run together. Yep. About $110 is what they go for.

Beautiful CS's guys, Jim those are some fantastic shots!! Got a few barlows here, first ones are wildebeast, next two are protos, un-edged but otherwise finished (the funky one is white tail tips, along with some elk and mule deer, encvased in black mica pearl acrylic):

It is 14-4, which is equivalent to ATS34/154CM, all of which are very good SS cutlery steels.OMG your pics of the Barlows have just bumped that knife to the top of my must have list!! Those are just stunning I can't stop looking at the 2nd and 3rd Wildebeast and the last 2 pictures which I'm guessing is the Sunset Bone? They are just perfect I love them! Which steel are they using for the blades on these Barlows?
Jim those chips are funky, aren't they. There's actually some texture there, they sit just a tad higher than the surrounding acrylic when the knife is finished.
JK, yes that's smooth sunset bone. Steel is 14-4CrMo from Latrobe. It's a high end stainless similar to 154CM.
