No, the title's not a typo... yes it really has an OD green micarta inlay.
Here's the story - this knife started life as one of Knifecenter's exclusives with an Olive Green G-Carta inlay. As a couple of members on here quickly found out, however, that G-Carta was prone to swelling and lifting off of the handles of the knife when it got hot and moist, like when it was in a sweaty pocket. So I sent this knife back to CRK, who replaced the inlay with OD Green micarta. This is the same type of micarta that they use for their natural and black inlays, so it won't experience the swelling and lifting issues that the G-Carta did. I think its pretty cool, and a pretty unique knife.
I did carry and use this knife lightly before I sent it back to CRK. I did not use it enough to experience the G-Carta swelling issue on this knife; I just sent it back preemptively so it wouldn't come up in the future. CRK gave it the full spa treatment when they had it, so the handles have been re-blasted, and the knife has been tuned and sharpened. Knife is totally unused since I got it back from them - only had it out for these pictures.
