Location to find Maroon Canvas Micarta

I've sourced Maroon Linen Micarta but I'm looking for a location of Maroon Canvas Micarta. I need enough for a couple knives, any ideas?

thanks

Thanks Mark I did. They have linen, but my customer insists he's looking for Maroon Canvas Micarta. I also sent an email to FOD.

By golly you are right, it was linen. Sorry 'bout that.

No worries at all Mark!

I think that your customer might be confusing Maroon linen micarta with canvas micarta. I've been doing this for over 25 years and have never seen maroon canvas micarta for sale commercially. I have seen SOME makers create knives with maroon canvas, but when I asked about it, I was told that the maker(s) had special ordered it (had it made to their specs) which required they order/purchased the entire sheet. It may be possible that your customer has seen a knife made with material that a maker had special ordered, and is assuming that it's readily available.

I did finally find some in 1/8th thickness (with the direction through a PM) which is not really as thick as I need. I think the same as you Ed and actually contacted the maker of his customs who has used a bit of the canvas in prototype form. It highly unlikely that it's canvas and I've asked the customer to confirm.
