Re: Black Linen Micarta instead CF/G-10 please
Certain models might be affected by Micarta’s higher coefficient of expansion and water absorption. Micarta: - Water Absorption, 24 hrs (%) 2.0 (Paper), 2.5 (Canvas) 1.8 (Linen) - Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion (x 10-5 in./in./°F) – Lengthwise: 0.80 (Paper), 1.20 (Canvas) 1.10 (Linen) - Cro...

Re: Corrosion and Edge Retention
When David Murphy started making knives for Gerber in the late 1930s, I believe he recycled used M2 High Speed Tool Steel power hacksaw blades that he ground to shape and had chrome plated.
