Tru dat with versions 2.0

Did you order standard or Edge cut?

Did you order standard or Edge cut?

Oh, edge cut!

 

[JustinFournier]

Oh, edge cut!

Gotcha. I wonder if anyone ordered standard.

 

[Casinostocks]

Gotcha. I wonder if anyone ordered standard.

Good Q. I saw some order that had just stated antique micarta but I don't think that the standard version is going to be available so I guess that the term is being used semantically for the edge-cut version. To me, the edge-cut is both more attractive and also grippier.

I didn't specify edge cut, but honestly I didn't know to at the time. Maybe I should email Jo and make sure.

I was in the same boat and Jo confirmed that you will get edge cut antique micarta if you simply specify antique micarta. Hope this helps.

Edge cuuuutttt......

I’ll be a sad panda when the vintage micarta is all gone.

Good to know, thanks. Both look nice but edge cut just really looks amazing.

The process we have moved to really favors the edge cut and the look is awesome, so we really don't have any plans to run any "standard" cut.

The antique micarta is very old surplus from a ship builder who used it as a bearing material at one time. The material, as I received it, is already a machined shape. I can slab it up in any way, but I orient it the way I do because I like the way it looks that way. I did some flat grain orientation at first simply because that's the "normal" way of doing it, but I do it all edge grain now.

Thanks for the clarification Nathan and Jo.

With my great gratitude to Mr. B^2 for facilitating the acquisition of top one. I love this trio with two vividly different shades and hues in the antique edge-cut micarta handles, sandwiching the unbuffed canvas micarta:

Since I don’t have any knives with this type of micarta, yet, I keep telling myself that it’s just handle material. But, man, those look good enough to eat. Congratulations! Mike

Thanks for sharing Phil, it's rare to see the vintage micarta in a standard cut.

The EDC is the only one in standard cut. I got that one in a trade a few months ago. The LC & FK are edge cut. Between the dim lighting and my modest camera skills, they look darker and lacking in depth of character compared to what you see in person. I'll work on that in future photos.

Thanks,

Phil

Nah Phil the pics are fine. I’m familiar with the material, I have lots of it here at home. I see it all the time!

Thanks again!
