Micarta requires a good sharp belt, it will grind and burn a little more than G10 if you aren’t careful. It’s not difficult, just go slow. Hand tools won’t burn obviously.
I may add a green sheath depending on the number of green knives sold. My handle is going to make the sheaths too, so I will ask about mix and match numbers.
G10 is a little easier to work with but either is workable with common tools.
Really enjoying this thread and the beautiful work put into these knives @Dixie and @hereinaz. The philosophy behind this knife lines up with what I want in a hunting knife. Getting ready to place a pre-order.
How long do you expect the preorder sale to run? Do I have time to see if there is a black G10 option?
It is $140 now, it will go up to $165 on or before July 1, and preorders will close by July 15. Sales will open up in the store after all preorders are filled. Retail will be $195 plus or minus depending on costs.
Sorry to do that, but I kinda wanted it to be a screaming deal for everyone that contributed to the thread… and I want to take your money. But leave you happy in the end.
No apology necessary, you’re bringing out great products at good prices, just keep up the good work! My birthday is in the fall so I’m calling it an early birthday present to myself!
I hope the handles meet expectations, and for anyone who is disappointed, I will always work out a solution even if it is a refund.
@Dixie what’s the preferred angle you use?
Sounds great. Thanks
Will these be available prior to the preorders shipping?
Yes. I am talking with my sheath maker, and if he doesn’t do the plates, I can produce them pretty easily in bulk.
Awesome, thanks
