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. OK, I kinda understand now. Since the only knives I have that are micarta are Busse, Swamp Rat, and Ranger I guess I'm used to SOFT micarta. Ted Wilson Dum inter homines sumus, colamus humanitatem. BTW - Winter is Coming.

Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

I wasn't trying to show off my Third World customizing attempts, just the relative sizes. BTW, I'm leaving the SS4 as is. How can one improve upon perfection? Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

I agree with your SS4 summary- best small knife I've ever seen (and I own one woo-hoo!).. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> JYD #3 Poor, but still dreaming of a sage and black SOD CG...

OP Horn Dog Junk Yard Dog Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 14,586 Georgia	Quote Very nice knives, Vic! But I got to ask... what happened to the DM? Ah, yes, the DM. That was my first attempt to do a satin finish with my belt grinder. It was not my original intent to change the shape of the blade, but in the process of trying to get a full convex grind from the top on a very thick blade, I removed too much steel from the edge. It cuts very well, though, but it doesn't look like a Dumpster Mutt anymore. I did a much better job on the HRLM. Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

I have an Ontario RAT5 in 3/16 which is full height, and in comparison I really like the thickness near the spine on the Badger (and the INFI of course!!) JYD#9
