How about some denim micarta? I posted this in the tradional forum too but I thought it might fit here.

Nice Sodbuster, jwh720 . I've got one in orange synth that I really like and is a lotta knife for 25 bucks. Is that available in Micarta or are those custom scales?

Yeah, I have been carrying it a lot lately. These are customs by birdvis knives.

Love micarta. Especially polished ivory.

Nice looking knives, Megalobyte , and nice pics too. I can't identify them, though, so can you let us know what they are?

SpyderPhreak That snakeskin Busse Game warden is a beautiful knife. Those big hollow pins...wow

 

[SpyderPhreak]

Thank you! That's probably my favorite hunting knife overall. Those "pins" are hollow SS tube fasteners that are flared to hold the scales on. Common on Busse knives.

Do you know what that micarta is called, and where it came from? It really looks like the Busse Snakeskin on mine above.

That material is called Python Micarta by the Russian knife maker, Shirogorov. I've seen it oriented both like mine, which I prefer and would term horizontal as well as in a vertical orientation. Most F3 Pythons I've seen have OD green backspacers, but mine and one or two others I've encountered have Ti backspacers which are really sweet.

I have no idea where Shirogorov sources that material.

I love this knife, a custom from South Africa's own JD Ellis. A Lanny's Clip with blue G-10 frame, red linen micarta liners, maroon linen micarta bolster and natural canvas micarta scales.

Now ya gotta admit, that's an awful lot of micarta for a knife. Only steel on this knife are the back spring, blade, pivot and pins, everything else is micarta or G-10, for such a big knife it only weighs a couple of ounces.

Very interesting, I would have never guessed that was factory scale material. The Busse snakeskin micarta dried up awhile back, and that's the closest analog I've seen. Cool...

Matt, I love your micarta work and your grinds are effin' awesome , you got mad skills brother. There is one thing, I miss your old steel rule. You still makin' Micarta and CF hideaways? A little micarta punch dagger would be so cool ala the original all steel CS Urban Pal, one of the things LT got right in those early Cold Steel years in the 80s

 

[T. Erdelyi]

Jared, some killer micarta there brother. I love JKs canvas micarta, it's nice and grippy and well what can you say about Jerry's treatment to the micarta? It's a work of art in and of itself.

I've gone one up... Ti.
