Time for a micarta Native 5?
Re: Time for a micarta Native 5?
Yeah! Micarta and MagnaCut! But the liners must be nested. I don’t want to see the liner edges.

I agree that if/when they do a CruCarta or MagnaCarta that the scales need some shaping like the CF S90V version.Evil D wrote: ↑Wed May 25, 2022 2:30 pm
This is the biggest thing I envy when I look at other companies. I will gladly take a whopping ~1/4 inch total thickness in the very center of the handle to gain a contoured grip, and deal with how much thicker that makes it in my pocket. I understand not making everything this way but I would gladly welcome more knives like the Shaman and I'd even be more interested in sprint runs of knives with scales like that instead of steel variants. If more aftermarket scale makers made scales like this I'd buy them for everything I carry.

A new Native is always welcome! I made a frankenstein crucarta when the Cruwear Native was released by Knifecenter, but I would love a production version, even in some other steel…

That is one fantastic looking knife.
I’d love to see one in contoured micarta.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.
