Ive seen the pic on BRKT site, but ive noticed the pics arent accurate.
so im asking the kind favor for someone who owns a bravo-1 in natural canvas micarta to post a pic of his.

Natural canvas varies a lot in color from knife to knife and also with lighting.

Usually it is somewhere between light canvas to reddish brown. The pic on BRKT was probably accurate for the knife they took a picture of;)

No Bravo here, but while you are waiting....here are two BRKT NCM offerings. A Woodland Special and a Fox River. The natural canvas micarta can vary in color. You can't tell what you will get batch to batch. I really don't care one way or the other, but for some, it might be a problem. This picture is pretty accurate on my monitor, the Fox handle is much darker than the Woodland.
 
I know Tknife likes the natural canvas micarta, and has several knives with it. Not sure if he has a Bravo1 or not, but I'll PM him.
 
Heres how it looked when I got it

And after sanding it for more grip, it was a little shiny for my liking

I thought you were going for the green canvas micarta?
 
Here is my BR Gameskeeper with a natural canvas Micarta handle. This knife is very similar to the Bravo-1 - and is shown with a Buck 119, Benchmade 201 Activator+, and BR Huntsman in black Micarta for relative size comparison. I love black Micarta - but that natural - and my green Micarta TUSK are nice, too.

Honestly I dont know what im going for, im lucky all these members have so much patience, im worried about the green canvas micarta not being able to be found when its lost. and recently i heard that micarta "shrinks" im just doing lots of research and finding one that suits me best.
 
I will probably just get some g10, it seems to be better than micarta, doesnt shrink, strong, grippy. it just seems to be my best bet.
 
I have a mini-canadian in natural Canvas that looks very dark and rich. Most people think of the micarta as more grippy. I have about 10 Barkies of each and thats my thinking also. My Matte Wet Recon is by far the most grippy.
