SAR 3 Question

[Brendan]

I got a SAR 3 recently - bought it on the forum to try it out and it's become one of my most used knives. What was the options with these. Mine is satin with black paper/g-10.

I haven't seen any coated ones !

How do I know if it's paper or g-10 ?

With G10 you should be able to see some grain down in the areas on the handle that have been machined.

There weren't any coated SAR 3's, but there were some doublecut combinations available as well as satin. G10 and Micarta handles at different points. I know I remember red G10, black/tan G10, tan canvas micarta. There were others, but those are the only ones I really remember for sure.

Here is a pic of all of them.

The G-10 you will see the fibers if you look really close.

Black G-10 came with bead blasted blade only I believe.

The satin finish was black paper.

Call me crazy, but if I remember correctly the rare one is missing from that pic. Good job on the collection though, Dave! :thumbup:

Isn't the second from the bottom on the left side green canvas micarta????
