Any-way...That Micarta 112 - does it have paper or canvas Micarta??? Can you see the layers??? Or is it so "flat" that they only show on the edges??? (Can you guess what my next 110 will have for scales???)![]()

Mike Kerins said:Trax,
You're absolutely right!The micarta has a canvas like look about it.
There are no layers with this micarta, but simply the visible "cloth" impression within the black micarta substance. The sides are the same as though the material was wrapped around even though it is squared off. That's the best description I can come up with. When I get chance, I'll try to take a close-up of the scales and post it.chickentrax said:I have a stiletto w/paper Micarta; it's nicely rounded in both axes and looks really nice. But a flat scale (like a 110) probably wouldn't show the layers too well. I was wondering if the canvas (which I've not seen yet) shows any better on a flat scale???![]()

My 1972 Black micarta 112 is my most valued knife. It was a working knife with me on the San Diego PD for eight years. I really appreciate the black micarta now more than ever and I really like the way it looks on a knife without a nail nick. :thumbup:chickentrax said:Do you like how it looks???![]()
