Handle: Denim "Jcarta" with 3/16 inch copper mosaic pins and copper lanyard tube. Red liners.
OAL: 7 1/2 inches
Weight: 3 oz.

How did you make your own micarta? That is pretty cool. I have plenty of old jeans that I could recycle.

Joel,

The denim micarta is very well done, as is the rest of the knife. I like the red liners a lot with the blue denim. A very fine package. You did a good job with the distal taper and it would appear to be a fine slicer.

Great looking knife! I love the color combo!
