    Good questions, Chris. I don't know what brand or manufacturer's product Dovo uses, but it's the same type, i.e. linen micarta, so the biggest difference could possibly be the brand name. Otherwise... well, linen micarta is linen micarta.

    I've got some black but don't like it as much, personally. There are other colors, but red, black and maroon are the most popular. Linen Micarta lends itself well to sculpturing to reveal layers and patterns, which is what creates the overall look of the scalloped micarta. How it's ground determines where the "rings" show up. This is flat ground to minimize that effect for an overall homogenous and polished look, rather than a textured "woodgrain" effect.

    Chris,

    I am just blabbing here but I think Robert can color it as you like.

    And I thought the layered look comes from the sheets?

    Until Robert responds...

    Cheers

    I've got a Bark River knife with green linen micarta scales that are absolutely gorgeous - the linen pattern comes through looking like fish scales.

    I've been using Micarta for quite some time. It's wonderful stuff.

    I have a Hen and Rooster knife which has Micarta Scales in Black and its the most incredible stuff I've ever seen you would swear it was ebony wood. The old bertram factory did incredible work.
