Any Micarta Fans Here?

[Johnnie1801]

Here's the all black PM2 from Cuscadi's site, it's sold out but retails at €270 (about $338)



and how about the Cuscadi Pm2 Bushcraft at €280 (about $350)

Well, you all know I'm certainly a big fan of Micarta handles! Here's my Cuscadi-decked knives these days:

Black Southard and Paramilitary 2 in black linen Micarta (Cuscadi's "allblack" attire)



Cruwear Military in Olive drab (OD) linen Micarta and DLC Para2, a bunch of gear heads!



Clips on the Southard and Millie are from STR (Southard one is spray enameled black). Millie has upgraded black T8 Torx screws.

Except for the Southard scale, I purchased the scales off eBay at a lower cost than Luke sells them from Germany. It's also much cheaper to just buy the scales separately and find the knife at the lowest cost you can. You pay the full premium price when you buy the whole thing complete from Cuscadi. It also takes a while to ship them overseas. These three all cost me about $200 and change (each obviously ).

I strongly recommend folks interested in aftermarket scales to contact Steve Ketchen (spketch on BF). His work equals or surpasses Cuscadi (no offense to Luke!). Cheers, Radioactive :)

P.S. Love the Spydie offerings too, have lots of those beauties too! I would love to see more and some more polished G10!

Nice!

I would love to see more offerings in micarta. The solid (liner-less) micarta like the old Caly Jr.s is my preferred choice, but I would be happy with liner-ed versions or even micarta inlays.

xceptnl Spyderco posting formula. Now this is some next level type math so stick with me.

Someone posts a question about something / people reply ( time passes ) = xceptnl posts CALY.

Hehe.

I like the canvas micarta esee uses. Would like to see some of it used by spyderco. Love the cuscadi scales but just haven't ever got around to getting a set.

The Kris is one of my favorite knives. I find micarta to be much better than G-10 and easier on the pockets grippy when wet and polishes up real nice. It can also be textured and worked almost like wood. If spyderco replaced all G-10 with Micarta in every knife i wouldnt complain at all

I would take micarta over G10, CF and Ti any day.
