Congrats on the SS4 Tony! it really is a great knive. I was a bit lukewarm on the mudder handle at first, but the more I have used it the better I like it. I cannot imagine why anyone would want to replace it with micarta.

Congrats on getting your SS4 tony!!
I LOVE Res-C. In my opinion, micarta is a down grade from Res C. I love how Res C feels in my hands.

Thanks Paul.
I personally love the way Res. C feels. I would love my other fixed blades that have micarta, to be able to get Res. C. I also DO find Res. C aesthetically appealing to me. To eah his/her own!! I am happy that you are going to make your knife the way you like and want it.

I sometimes stir my Tang with a Scrapper 4. All that orangey, NASA goodness is hard to resist!

Even I'd admit (and I hate micarta) that a SS4 sized knife with micarta scales would be a good 'user'. It's just comfy choppers where res-C rules the world!

I like the way micarta looks but not the way it feels. And I like the way Res C feels but not the way it looks. I agree.
