I wanted to ask about Natural Canvas used by the forge. I just received a Carver and it appears to be G10 in Natural Canvas color. Do they use actual Natural Canvas on the knives? I own several, but all of them appear to be G10.

Love this Carver. It is going to be a great addition to my carving set.

Martin,
I believe that Carver is G10, but we don't use much G10. The natural canvas is generally natural canvas Micarta.

Natural canvas micarta on my Runt. That carver looked like G10

We use a lot of nat can. Only a few knives ever in tan g10. A pic would help. Probably nat linen.
 
looks like i made a mistake
if that sways your interest send it back & "i'll take it" :thumbup:
 
Not to totally derail things, but can linen micarta be textured like canvas micarta or does it lack substance?
 
i like this quote from Mike Stewart from Bark River
Bark River offers all of them.

Every Micarta - Linen - Canvas - Paper

Every G-10

We stock all of them and usually include them in every Build of each model.

There is Zero difference between them in use.

I have heard people say that ---- the G-10 is more Grippy - The Linen Micarta is more Grippy - the Canvas Micarta is more Grippy - the Linen Micarta is better looking - the Paper Micarta is better looking - the G-10 will not color Fade - The Canvas Micarta will take a far better Matte Finish - The Linen Micarta will take a better Matte Finish - the Canvas Micarta will Hold water in it's very top layer - The Linen Micarta will Hold Water in it's top layer - Canvas Micarta will be ruined by Oil - Linen Micarta will be ruined by Oil - G-10 Will be ruined by Oil - the Paper Micarta is Stronger than the Canvas - The Canvas is Stronger than the Paper - The G-10 is Stronger than the Paper Micarta - Grippy is better then Smooth - Smooth is better than Grippy - None of them get Slick with blood - All of them get Slick with blood - the Old Westinghouse Micarta is much better than the new stuff - The New G-10 is much better than the Older Stuff - - - - ................... etc

Get the Picture Yet ?

It is one of the very best sources for Industry Bullshit and mis-information that anyone could ask for.
