Esp old micarta.

While back Vince listed a Mike Miller knife with some vintage micarta scales. Old Louisiana shipyard micarta. 1950’s era.

Asked Mr Mike to make another skinner with that.

Mail lady dropped it off yesterday.

This stuff is gorgeous. Mike made another great one.

Ya that’s some cool stuff

very cool and yes as pretty as some wood handle knives are you just can't beat micarta for durability

I have not seen that before, really looks nice. That is also one of my favorite patterns from Mike.

I like that pattern. I used one last season for deer.

He made it 3/32” hollow ground.

Slicey dicey.

I understand,,,being a knife looney can be a bit more economical than a rifle looney...but I tend to be both!

I like the look of that micarta. Very nice blade
Made a “carbon fiber “ kydex pocket sheath with a homemade micarta bead.

That kydex goes well with the old micarta.

A slicer! 3/32” hollow ground.

Don’t mind the smudges on the blade. One day I’ll have pics that look like GWB’s. Ya!

That's some good looking micarta. It has some good character. I'm a big 3/32" fan too

Great stuff Dave!
Nice!!!
Thanks!


I think 3/32” is the ticket. I’ve got a several in that thickness.

I don’t pry or chop or baton or pull nails or split coconut shells.


Pure coincidence, that pattern is very similar to a Winston #43/45.

Love that handle material!

Knife ain't bad either;)
Posted By: TxHunter80 Re: If you like micarta.... - 09/16/20
Now that you mention it, I do see some 43/45 resemblance. Nothing wrong with being similar to those 2
TxHunter80,

No, nothing wrong one bit of those being similar.

Dave, love the micarta on those 2. Bang up job on the kydex, too.
Thanks.

The old shipyard micarta is nice. Great colors to it.
Posted By: TxHunter80 Re: If you like micarta.... - 09/17/20
I do like the carbon fiber better for that particular knife but the basket weave is nice. You have some in other colors?
