Got an email today from Gene, and it's time to decide; thinking about jigged Ivory. Anybody have one in jigged Ivory Paper Micarta? Also curious about blood staining on a lighter colored Micarta....thoughts?

Blood on my paper linen micarta fron Gene was not an issue. Although if it was I think the patina would be awesome over time.

I don't think I have any, but I could take some later.
I'll check photobucket and see if I do.

Does he bead blast the paper micarta after he jigs it, like he does with the jigged and bead blasted G-10?

I've got a white micarta slim that has had as much blood on it as I can imagine. Ive just wiped it off and touched the blade up here and there. No need to worry or send them back to him to clean and sharpen for you. It's all good.

I've had this one for 8 or 9 years now...his 2nd or 3rd in S30V after initial testing of the steel...

I like it Journeyman, simple, classy and a great pouch.

It looks great......I've thought about black pins too, yours look nice on the lighted colored micarta.

This is the jigging pattern that all of mine have. That's ivory micarta on the left and antique on the right.
