I think that the cut that Busse uses on the Micarta feels very soft and fabric-y. I can feel individual little fibers when I run my finger across the grips. Soft to the touch, not soft like I can squeeze it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Ranger Micarta feels similar to me also, nice and "soft" to the touch.

Ontario RAT micarta doesn't feel soft to me.

Just my opinion.
