For chopping lots of hard woods.. Res-C all the way!
..if i don't wear gloves i get a little blister too, but it's better than the ringing Shock to the bones while chopping w/ micarta, wood, bone handles!

For zombie air chopping & practicing my mall ninja moves.. i like Micarta.

In another thread we were comparing SwampRat Res-C vs Micarta prices..
and found the price difference to be +$40 to $90 for Micarta.

i like both.. depends on what knife it's on & what i'm using it for.
