new micarta question

[Outlaw_Dogboy]

Do the micarta handled Spydie knives have metal liners? The G-10 handled ones do, correct? How stiff is the micarta? I think I read in the "...smells" thread that micarta is a fabric, and not as stiff as G-10?

How does either the micarta or G-10 hold up to heavy use, compared to the zytel? By heavy use, I mean 'pruning' branches and whittling. I know that the zytel will hold up pretty well to this, at least in the short term.

I handled a couple of micarta Spydies over the weekend (Calypso Jr.), and they were SCHWEEEET! Didn't notice the smell....

OD~
The micarta handled knives with lockbacks have no metal in the handle, other than the
lock itself. The Howard Viele, which is a
liner lock has metal lining the inside, where the lock nests. I think the Viele is the only linerlock micarta knife, so it would be the only one with metal lined scales...
