Micarta handled Sod Busters, Work Knives..... heck whynot anything with Micarta?

[Woodrow F Call]

I've got an itch for a Micarta handled knife.... Probably a sod buster, but the GEC Weaver Jack is calling me too. To satisfy my wants, I was hoping some of you could give recomendations and post up pics of any Micarta Sod Busters, Hawkbills, Work Knives..... or anything else.

The new sodbusters from Queen with micarta scales look good. For some reason, the other knives they offered just don't jive with micarta. That sodbuster, though, looks great. Custom knives look good with micarta, J Oeser is a maker that comes to mind who favors micarta and carbon fiber, his models have looked exceptionally pleasing to me with both handle materials.

Go to AGRussel's site and check out his offerings.

I have this knife with the "Rucarta" (RUssell + MiCARTA - get it? ) and it is a real dandy. Mean slicer with enough stiffness to get some work done.

He also has some other heavy duty working patterns with Rucarta which after good reports from others will be coming to me as work knives as well.

I think if Case made a Sodbuster with micarta it would be a great seller. I'll have to check out the Queen that was mentioned.

My avatar is a KHnutbuster by Kerry Hampton. He stamped my Mothers birth, and death dates on an inside liner for me.

The queen is interesting.

Top knife here is my TLAR jack:

And this one is my modified sodbuster:

Both of these knives were built for me by Keith Johnson. The sodbuster is chocolate paper micarta and the other one is Westinghouse micarta.

My sodbuster is a K. R. Johnson--the red micarta is terrific, and the knife is just really nicely made and really nice to use. It has dominated EDC time since it arrived:

Nice. I was thinking the other day about the Weaver Jack in the Rust Red Micarta..... Kinda fitting that a "Weaver's Knife" would be handled in canvas.

Here's a Rough rider linerlock work knife in micarta next to a small Case soddie. The RR is built like a tank. They used to sand the finish down so the grain showed, wish they still did that, had a better grip.

Best regards

The Butterscotch Swayback Menefee is a great looking knife.

Saw an Equal End Alsdorf on here not long ago in Maroon Micarta with a clip blade that I am still having dreams about. Would love to own that one some day.
