Oh boy, green canvas micarta would definitely get me buying another Chap!

Nothing grips like canvas micarta when you are wearing gloves IMHO. Some faded denim, grey or tan would make me a happy man!

I'd be in for a Chap with Pakkawood or Micarta.

Who am I kidding? I have every Chap and I'll be in for every one in the future, regardless.

But polished micarta would definitely be awesome. :)

Sal: When you make me a Military with Micarta scales made from M65 uniforms i will buy two and send you flowers and a bottle of the finest whiskey!
That would IMO be the ultimate military! :)

Now that sounds interesting!
Very cool. I'm hoping for a matte canvas micarta that has a little texture to it for grip. Not really a fan of polished micarta. Green or Burgundy matte canvas micarta are my favorites. I have quite a few fixed blades with these scales and love them.

Would also like to see some peel ply G10 and peel ply CF as handle options for a Chapparal. Perhaps some sprints or dealer exclusives with these materials will be in our future!

I too would love a Spyderco in Micarta! It has such a good feel and it ages well.

I'd love to see micarta on the Chaparral. There are a few others as well.
