I have not tried burlap yet so I can't speak to much for it, though if it's ultrex then I'm sure it will be high quality.

Having done similar finishes on kitchen knives i would recommend a better finish on the bevel. It's the contrast between the two textures that makes them look good. A rough bevel just makes it look crude.
Not a perfect example but this is a recent test by me. Nakiri with forged 1080 blade @~60rc, micarta, fake ivory and silver handle

Just finished my first Damascus knife!
It’s 80crv2/15n20 in a pretty fine twisted W’s pattern.
And the handle is stabilized golden curly acacia from

I think it looks pretty good! What do y’all think?
I’ll post some more photos in the custom knife thread.

Hello, Just finished this little guy in W’s twist, stabilized golden curly acacia with copper pins and an heirloom fit-up. This is actually my very first Damascus knife. What do y’all think?! Questions/comments welcome!

On the note of micarta I tried some ivory linen for the first time. Really liking it. Finished with 3M Ultra fine pad. It's on some convex Magnacut.
How does the ivory linen do with being stained? I used some ivory paper many years ago and pins/liner material wanted to smear into the micarta and was a PITA to clean after sanding to shape! The ivory linen looks great!
