I have to admit that I have always been drawn to natural handles and never payed much attention to micarta. Not that long ago, though, I picked up a GEC Missouri Trader (#42) in maroon linen and was surprised by how much I liked it. Perhaps not as beautiful (to me) as some other materials, but robust and practical. Since then, I have picked up a couple of micarta Charlie Bells. Great knives!



P.S. Sorry for the dark photo. It has been really gray and overcast here lately!

In celebration of "Micarta Monday" I guess I'll add my Marbles MR431 black canvas D2 Sowbelly Stockman to my pocket, so it and the two (BTI) Old Timers already there can party.

^ I am a big fan of the sowbelly pattern. Here is a better picture of my C. Bell; it is vintage Westinghouse paper micarta (in a little better light).

As of late, GEC has released some super knives wrapped in micarta, sooooo anyone else up for a Micarta Monday?

Not necessarily a new release but the Bird Dog is definitely IMO a laudable release.

I had the B&S out for a little while today...
I don't have any urge to carry this knife, but it comes out often just to admire it.

I hope this qualifies as a "traditional"; I think it does based on pattern, but there are those screws. Anyway, if people object I will remove it.

This is an MKM Malga 6 from Maniago in natural canvas micarta. I commute a long distance by train and frequently have a snack on the way. I hate the plastic sporks from the train station grocery, so, when I saw the GEC 35 Beer & Sausage, I thought to myself that a little fork with blade and bottle opener would definitely come in handy! Unfortunately, GECs in general, and small runs in particular, are really hard to come by in Europe. So I started searching for an alternative and found this.

It has an M390 blade and pretty well done micarta. The little fork is great for things like the pre-cut melon chunks I often buy for my ride.
