tell me about these handles...

[DowntownDM]

on the NMFBM... are they "hand shaped, magnum, black (linen?) micarta"? if not, what are they?

* pic borrowed from knife hunter's for sale thread, please let me know if you'd like me to take it down...

thanks.

That is one of Knife Hunter's pics. He advertised it as Black Micarta, looks to be Hand Shaped Magnum Black Canvas Micarta to me. Doesn't quite look like it's linen.

Someone else might know better.

Les.

 

[DowntownDM]

Ahh, right, I meant Canvas... thanks.

 

[P-Easy]

Man, they look like linen to me. Maybe they are to coarse though..

Any closer pics?

 

[P-Easy]

Oh, nvm, not your pic.

Looks like hand-shaped, black canvas mags to me. That's what mine look like.

would you mind posting a photo or three, I'd love to see more knives with these?

I have those exact handles on my NMFBM, they are hand shaped magnum black canvas. What's the handle on the BOSS? Standard Black Micarta?

They are machined standard black canvas micarta. I may be wrong, but I don't believe that Busse has used any black linen micarta AFAIK.

Those doublecut HG55's are really sweet looking in person! :thumbup: I'll bet that NMFBM does too!

 

[lsheldon]

Disregard...............

 

[resinguy]

There you go, I thought they were hand shaped Magnum, but I would trust jaxx's word over mine in regard to a Busse's handles any day.

Jaxx was referring to the HG55.

Well I would, except my Dad hijacked my NMFBM, and it's now mounted to the rollbar of his tractor.

I think one of the only pictures I have of that knife is here:

It's buried in there.

Sorry, lsheldon... resinguy is correct. I was referring to the BOSS HG55 handles. The NMFBM does indeed have hand shaped Magnum black canvas micarta on it.
