Here's a new one I just finished in Blue Line Micarta. This stuff is rare as hen's teeth but it sure is pretty. Dale

That sure is pretty. I like the blade shape across the top, makes it easier for field dressing when you are worried about piercing the guts. Why is the blue line so rare?

Thanks Vince. When there's no option for mistakes, you wanna be pretty careful in putting 'em together. Rick was nice enough to share a set of scales with me for this one, so I wanted to make sure it came out right. I don't know of any other maker in the country that has any of the blue line besides Rick and he told me he doesn't have much.

Sorry no, that one was a special order for a customer who waited quite a while to get it.

I've always been a fan of this micarta. Mike Miller is going to use it on a knife he is building me soon.
