I would love it if they made a Chap along the lines of my GEC 77 Barlow.. micarta with a bolster and everything with a nice subtle radius.
Micarta Chaparral
Re: Micarta Chaparral
Agree with this - the radius makes all the difference in look and feel, and may be difficult to achieve in such a thin scale.The Deacon wrote: ↑Fri Oct 18, 2019 1:13 pmMuch as I love Micarta, I don't think the Chaparral is the best vehicle for it. Micarta looks best when it's thick enough to be at least a bit rounded so the layers are visible.
One possible solution would be to use end-cut micarta? Something that brings its own visual interest.
This is a shameless plug, because I really like end-cut micarta :D

Cruwear Micarta Chap would be an instant buy!
CRU-CARTA THE SEKI MODELS! AND BRING US THE DODO-FLY!
Re: Micarta Chaparral
Ivory or white linen Micarta would look really nice on such a slim and classy design like the Chap.
I also love blue denim Micarta on just about anything.

Re: Micarta Chaparral
Ivory/white would look gorgeous!
There's also Juma and Elforyn if you're into white/ivory look
