To make a long story short my first Busse had G-10, still have it but Im thinking it needs to go. Why? You ask. Because just like my Sebenza, micarta is what really makes the knife. At least for me. I understand that G-10 is great, you cant destroy this stuff and you can get it in just about any color combo that you can dream up. But the feel is just not for me. And its heavy. G-10 just didnt push me in the Busse direction.
Anyway, onto the micarta. It is great on my Sebenza and even better on a Busse. Doesnt add much weight and has a feel all its own. It adds life to the knife.:thumbup: Between the two types that I have linen and canvas I feel that the linen aids in a better grip. It is more like a 220 grid sandpaper and it real holds onto the skin. It is more tacky, if you will. The canvas is nice but it doesnt have that tackiness. The canvas feels smoother. Does anybody else have this experience? Most importantly what colors of micarta came/come in the linen besides green? Plus, because of the difference of thread in the linen and canvas I assume that the canvas will hold up better to use. Or are they about the same? As in I really doubt one could destroy either.
