This one may be the first to get whacked. Just holding it affirmed my preference for the standard scales, so I expect the only other real contender may be the tan/snakeskin.

While I want to go out and chop something in the worst way, I think I'll hold off till the tan/snakeskin makes its appearance. Then, there'll be a showdown.

Nice one Guyon ! The tan/snake you have coming should look awesome also.
Makes me want to order one NOW ! Thanks for the pic
 
That's a nice looking color combination. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
 
Yep, that is a sweet combo! Tan/Snakeskin is gonna be real pretty too...
 
Is that Black & Black Standard?

Nope, that's green linen.

Here's a black/black, though not as clear a pic.

Here's a comparison pic of the green linen (top) and black micarta (bottom).

The green linen has a more consistent coloration, along with a (very) dark greenish hue.

Great pics, thanks for sharing them. Man, that green linen is looking better everytime I see it.

I hope you don't mind that I borrowed your pic for the "FBM compilation thread" if you want it removed please let me know

:D:D
 
Congrats Guyon... GREAT pics!

I ordered the same black blade w/ green linen mags... I'm hoping that the linen micarta is somewhere between G10 and canvas micarta as far as how it feels. How do they feel compared to either G10 or canvas micarta? :confused:
 
Okay, I went in and got what I thought was a good feel for the scales. My perception while looking and touching was that the green linen was only slightly smoother to the touch.

Then, I closed my eyes and had my wife mix them up. I made my pick for black micarta with eyes still closed.

I was wrong. :p

Moral of this story?

1) I have the touch of a rhino.

OR

2) My original assumption was a reaction to the coloration differences, and there is virtually no difference in terms of feel.
 
Guyon,

No matter, those are two real nice knives you have, but why do they both have black slabs:confused:











:p :p :p :p
