Man, I have no use for paper micarta.

True, canvas can absorb some oil on the surface. It cleans up with some dish soap and a brush easy enough.

It's a shame we don't see more linen. It is easily my favorite. I don't have any Busse-kin with it at the moment, but I do have a Spyderco Street Beat with polished linen that I've been meaning to scuff up with some sandpaper. Maybe this weekend.

I don't think I've owned any linen micarta. Have any pics of your Spyderco?

THE SAR HAS LANDED!

A quick commentary to follow later - sick of typing on an iPhone.

I'm glad the SAR made it!

I don't have a pic of the Spyderco, but the bottom knife in this pic is tan linen. To me it feels better than canvas. Less coarse.

The Spyderco scales are polished and slick, and it looks and feels like it has some type of sealant.

The abrasive coarseness of canvas is what I like about it. It remains tactile when sweaty or wet. I don't know that I've ever held linen, but have read many times about how popular it is.

The SAR has a very large handle shape and scales, but the curved ergo shape is really comfortable.

Oh, I definitely love canvas. Linen just has such a nice feel to it, though.

I was secretly hoping wouldn't like the SAR5.

Oh by the way. There are some INFImandus at Blade.

I really like the SAR. It's a beastly bushcrafter. It reminds me of the sort of knife a frontiersman would carry...stout, simple, very practical.

The RMD is my favorite Rat. They feel great, and are imminently practical. I'd love to have a FFG INFI version.

I feel that "smaller profile" 5-6" INFI are missing from the line up. The ASH, Tankbuster, SJTAC, etc are all "big" frames.

The Boss Jack was reasonable, but had the ergonomics of an three-sided engineer's scale.

The pic I saw has a saber-ground knife in it.

I have a FFG RMD. Right now it's having a deep Bowie clip ground in it to reduce even more weight.

Well, the INFImandu fits that niche. I'm tempted to have proxy snag one for me, but I keep getting bad news at home.
