I just received my new Jackmandu and Custom Shop Rodent 6, along with a 'new to me' Rodent Solution, all with tan canvas micarta handles. I ordered that colour on the JMD and R6 based on previous purchases of tan canvas on my TGLB, SOB and RMD which pretty much matches what's on the Rodent Solution.
Clearly they are nothing even close to what I was expecting. I get that there's going to be subtle variations between batches of micarta, or even if it has to be sourced from a new supplier, but this is such a drastic difference that I'm not sure it even qualifies as 'tan' anymore. There's even a significant difference between the R6 and JMD, which would have rolled off the production line within a week or so of each other.
What do folks think? Love it? Loathe it? Don't care? Just interested.
