question about burlap micarta handle

[Jas79]

Im thinking about burlap micarta for a handle material on my bushcrafter, but I have a question. Is the burlap slick, or does it have alot of grip to it?
I've seen pics that look like its real shiny and slick, and some where it looks dull and grippy.(sp)thanks for any help

The burap is a custom phenolic, and means a bit of upcharge. The material is grippy IMO. If any material is too slick, sanding it with rougher sandpaper will make it grippier.

Burlap is an awesome material. Lots of depth, and great texture.
