The only person that can outdo you at making knives...is you...!
I see these beautiful knives that you make and I think..."they just can't get any better than that"...then you go and make another one that impresses even more...! Awesome work and craftsmanship.

I would never argue that micarta isn't more functional but by my way of thinking, "life is too short to hunt with an ugly knife."

Kinda like huntin' with an ugly rifle. Who the heck wants to do 'that'...?
Or goin' through life with an ugly woman. Who the heck wants to do 'that'...? laugh

I have shoe boxes full of old knives 75 to 100 years that are hafted wood , bone and ivory. Perhaps if micarta was around at that time they're would be 4 times the amount of older knifes lift.

I agree, but this knife will be used for cleaning trout mostly and will get plenty wet, so I just don't want a "looker" for that. This one will be my "Echols Legend Knife" ....

You never struck me as the kind of guy that would name one of your knives " The Legend ".

No doubt the micarta will perform better BUT the burl Rick is using is damn nice. BTW, the fillet Rick built me has micarta handle, its just that I couldn't help commenting after seeing that burl.
