It's time to get this thread off of page #4! :D
How about some Burnt Orange Canvas Micarta!
As more time passes. The more I like to stick with Factory colors. :spyder:
I
almost ordered a set in a different color. I now think, that would have been a shame.
I do love Canvas Micarta, and will be trying to match Factory colors as much as possible, going forward.
Burnt Orange Canvas Micarta for Rex 45
Green Canvas Micarta for K390
Blurple Canvas Micarta for S110V :eek:
Brown Canvas Micarta for 10V
Gray Canvas Micarta for Maxamet
Red Canvas Micarta for 4V
Carbon Fiber for S90V
etc.
This first picture, is the raw scales. Right out of the package. I then took a 3/4" x 7" long silicone carbide emery board (100/180 Grit), and used the 180g side to knock-down all of the sharp edges, and radius the top edges of the scales a bit more (while wearing latex gloves).
Then, I wiped them down with food grade mineral oil. To get a nice base-coat down. So that later, they will be much easier to clean dirt and hand-oils off of. This is so important, in keeping them clean. If dirt, grease, or nasty stinky hand oils are allowed to get into the fibers first. A tear-down and bleach scrub would be needed later. This way, when they do get a bit dirty later. I just dab some mineral oil on a rag, and wipe all of the dirt away. Even folding the oil rage over, and pulling it under the pocket-clip a couple of times. To keep things looking even. :)
Brian, from Sharp Dressed Knives made these for me. I could not be happier!
