Might surprise some here to know my collection is pretty balanced between carbon and stainless. I've got a wide selection of carbon knives ranging from pocket folders to two handed machetes and axes.

Like you I'm quite fond of micarta and tool steel - it just typically isn't very practical for me in a pocket knife. But my current work environment is very well ventilated, and for off days the nights have started to cool off a bit. So the K390 Police, M4 Chief and carbon Case trapper have been enjoying pocket time for the first time in a while.
