Thread: Camo Scales

Canvas micarta and a seal epoxied into the scales could work nicely.

I think a seal might be a bit big and heavy, but the oil would probably stop the blade rusting

Now that would be the ticket. The black scales are near perfect, but, I just keep thinking a military twist would be good. I also liked the idea by henrys cat about the olive drab.

sorry....had to.

I had already thought of that. I always kidded by boys about camo knives in the woods. They would just look at me.

Thanks.

Isn't it a WWI razor?

Why not do it in Marine Corp Colors Scarlet & Gold or get some MARPAT and make your own the MARPAT has USMC and an EGA printed in the pattern anyway this is what I was going to do to mine but have left them as they are and only use one or the other once a year just my thoughts

There are two different ones. One has USMC on the blade. That is the WW1 version. The WW2 version has USMC stamped on the tang. In my opinion the WW1 version is a better looking razor.

Here's an example of one that Max Sprecher did a few years back -- a Genco "Army & Navy" in olive-drab G10.

Hard on the seal, too.

Camo in the medicine cabinet would be something along the lines of a Crest logo of the bottom of a mouth wash bottle :<0)

You could make your own Micarta. Just picked the first video I saw there may be better ones.


Would be cool to use some material with smaller pattern on it. Paper or cloth with the right size print on it and you would have a hit. Maybe use a GI Joe jacket for the top layer. You could even make your own pattern out of paper.
