- New Handle Materials - available soon

[Daniel Koster]

Let me know what you think!




EDC Prototype with 5" blade, 3/16" O1, hollow grind, swedge

Handle = Black/Tan G10

I really like this material - takes a beadblast very well - makes a super-grippy handle (probably the most grippy material I've ever used...along with Blue/Black G10)





EDC Prototype with 4.5" blade, 3/16" O1, hollow grind, swedge

Handle = Burgundy Canvas Micarta

]

Probably the best feature of this canvas micarta is that it looks nearly the same either wet or dry. Natural Canvas Micart starts out yellow and ends up brown. Green Canvas Micarta is silvery-green dry and is dark green when wet. Black Canvas Micarta is gray when dry and black when wet. Burgundy is is nearly the same wet or dry, new or old.

If you like a dark wood handle but want a synthetic alternative, then this is the material for you.

I put some thick liners on this handle to beef up the handle - I like it!


Let me know what you guys think.

My preference would be black and tan, and the 5" prototype seems to "flow" better, though it's difficult to tell with just pictures.

I like the burgundy micarta a lot!

 

[viva la]

I really like the black/tan

the black and tan is strikingly handsome! matches the dual shade in the blade....great concept

 

[Warriorsociologist]

Dan, do you have any brown canvas micarta? (darker than "natural")

 

[wildmike]

I like the black & tan G10. I'd love to get one of those EDC's like the 5" er in 3V I don't care for D2.

 

[VictGerbSogCamill]

I really like, no, love the Burgundy Canvas Micarta. Very nice.

 

[kyturkey]

My first thought was the black and tan, but the more I look at those two I really like that burgundy.

I'm gonna have to agree with the turkey. The burgundy looks really nice. The black g10 is fine, but black g10 is common. Burgundy micarta? Now that's cool!

 

[tychoseven]

I like 'em both, and that 5" EDC has great lines.

I like the burgundy canvas micarta. The supplier calls it burgundy or double brown canvas. He said that the canvas is brown and the resin is also brown. It was my understanding that it was a mistake. I got me a nice piece of it for future projects.

I love the burgundy canvas micarta!

Black and Tan- But either would do.

I,m liking those EDC knives pictured--very nice

 

[Warriorsociologist]

ok....I'm somewhat red/green color blind. That burgundy looks brown....how much of a red tint does it have?

 

[Handforged]

Black and tan is quite a looker

 

[Bigfattyt]

They both look great. I would be more than happy to carry either.

I am still craving one of these since I did the passarround with the Red handled and the wooden handled version.

Perfect EDC.

The longer version looks awesome as well!.

I absolutely, positively, LOVE the black/tan G10--did you laminate that yourself?
