I really like this guy, too. It looks a lot like my RAT-7 but a lot classier with the Crashcarta and the mosaic pins. That burlap turned out really nice and the paw print is really cool.

It's perfect. To copy klick-klack, can I have it?
I like that! The micarta looks great as well.

Rebel I'd actually pay for that one. Great knife Crash!
1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

Got a little finish work still to do, and waiting on parts to repair my electro-chemical etcher, but here are a couple more pictures of the burlap Crashcarta and the other two.

Great job, crash! Beautiful knives.

Crash, that burlap micarta turned out absolutely fantastic. Great knife.
I had a compass, but without a map, it's just a cool toy to show you where oceans and ice are.
Thanks. I think the white burlap would look good on blued steel with red liners. I'll have to add that to my list of things to try.
Just beautiful is all I can say.

Absolutely gorgeous.
Do you have links or advice on making a burlap handle please?
Never come across the material before (to my knowledge) and i'm intrigued.
Cheers

Love them All and the Brown One, What is that you used Looks Almost Like Burl Wood .
Here's a three part youtube vid on the process I use. http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...memade-Micarta
It is a burl. Not sure what wood it is though - it was in a pile of stuff I picked up when I got my heat treat oven.
Beautiful works as usual Crash! I know a lot of folks really like the Micarta, but that wood just sets their beauty off to it's full potential!

Fantastic, thank you.
If that last knife is burl wood it is some sexy shift.
Only problem is that it looks like it might lack gription. I was wondering does the burlap marcita have any texture to provide good gription?
As always nice knives.
They're all a smooth finish. The reason I started shaping the handles the way I do is to easily index in the hand, and to provide a contour that fits securely.
Some makers are adding grooves to synthetic scales and such to add what you are calling gription. Kinda' like checkering, but more aggressive. More like gouges really.

These don't need any extra gouges.
Beautiful work Crash.
