Nope, I asked Jerry about this last night. It's just a lighter orange version of Tigerhide. Tigerhide micarta can vary quite a bit. This lighter version reminds me of the Tigerhide used years ago on some of the HOGFSH's, like the this one shown on the BLADE booth backdrop...

I kinda like it as is, but I'll bet that it'll look sweet oiled up with some mineral oil. :thumbup:

I'd like to see a lighter version of snakeskin!! Clearly there have been several batches of tiger, as well as snakeskin. I wish Jerry would bring back snakeskin in some version or other.

Although I and many others wish this also, it may never happen...

Verbatim from the Busse Combat website said:
The Elusive Snakeskin
The Snakeskin micarta handles were discovered accidentally and cannot be duplicated. Not only have we tried to duplicate this unusual layered look with several different manufacturers who claimed that duplication would not be a problem, but several other knife manufacturers have tried quite unsuccessfully to duplicate it as well. Once our supply is used up, the Busse Combat original Snake Skin micarta will not be an available again.

I have every LE model with tiger hide and can confirm that it varies quite a bit.

The best (most vibrant and good contrast) colours have been on the Satin jack, FBM, Lean Mean Street and HOGFSH.

You can never really tell what it will look like on the website as the colours are never quite right.

I'm not a fan of the smoothed out tiger hide, I think it looks better with the machine finish.

Still................Tiger Hide and Satin combo cannot be beaten (except maybe by Snakeskin / Satin) :D
