I keep crossing my fingers that Dan makes a model with Micarta grips ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

itd be sweet but i highly doubt it micarta is $$. price to performance ratio!

lol look at how much more expensive the RMD is over the S5cg, granted its a full tang but still

Actually I don't think micarta or G10 is that expensive at all. I am alawys a bit puzzed by the price differance <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />. It is like why is INFI so expensive ? IMO it doesn't perform any better than 101-SR77-52100-ATS etc ? Whenever I have asked I always get the answer" just because it is "INFI" .Personaly-I don't buy much INFI bcause i just don't see the edge.I also can get a better edge on my 101 than I can my INFI- but maybe I am lousy at sharpening <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />


When it comes to handle material cost there is a difference...not enormous. It is the amount of handwork/shop time that drives the price difference.

Some of those G10 handles coming out of the Busse Custom Shop are some of the most incredible things I have seen on a knife

Thanks for confirming. I thought that would have been the case. BTW, Res-C is comfy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
