Yes you can use the same mineral oil but its not really needed with micarta unless you just want to make the color pop/look wet. Only the outer layer/threads of the micarta are exposed and get wet. The epoxy/resin used with the layers of material make it solid and pretty impervious and they don't need the care that other natural materials like bone or wood do.
The more I carry my natural canvas and od green canvas bullnoses, the darker and dirtier the handles get. To me, the handles look that much better with a worn look!

I'd be happy to pay a premium
That's what I like to hear!! I'm all in on wood and stag versions! I even hit them up on their facebook page! Maybe we need some more "request"![]()
