It is what they used on all the early knives. It seems very consistent from knife to knife. It is a beautiful handle material.

They called it black micarta but most where green when cleaned and some had tan in them. It was really nice micarta. Todays black micarta tends to have a lot of gray in it, which I like.

I am so freaking jealous right now. That is an awesome collection. Thank You for sharing with us.The Holy Terror unbolts and becomes a D-gaurd for the SH1.
Also pictured with some other early SH's.
The small knife is a 3 finger.
