Stormcrow Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Among the knives I was scrambling to get ready for the Blade Show was a single edged Little Rok I had been planning on outfitting with Micarta and stainless hardware. It's second from the bottom here. Then a good customer of mine contacted me needing a best man gift for his brother on short notice. I snagged the heat treated blade aside, and it got desert ironwood and brass instead. I managed to finish it up and get it in the mail before heading to Atlanta. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loneforge Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Love the wood on your knives...More than the Micarta. Just a preference that's all. Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solano Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I sure like your knives, someday I gotta take a road trip to SA and watch you. If you let me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 The wood is lovely, the micarta is stable. You use what is best for what the knife will see in use! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormcrow Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 Thank y'all! Yep, Thomas is right. As what I build is increasingly for military customers, Micarta is increasingly my handle material. Solano - I'm hosting the June Balcones Forge meeting at my shop, if you can make it out then. Check out their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Special Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I'm military, and I don't like Micarta..........prefer, wood, leather, antler, metal, even 550 cord. But then, I'm not buying mine! The person who pays is often right, right? Anyways, love the knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
