Found a couple of Betzner's pics...nothing much else, but my search-fu is not strong like bull :oops:...

I'll look at buffed or unbuffed, any model, any color, any cut/bias, etc.-- I'm not picky...but I'd REALLY like seeing some on a Lite Choppa :thumbsup:...TIA!
 
Here are couple more of the edgecut micarta pics, for further comparison:

And just to add as much perspective on the antique micartas as possible, the ones below are all Westinghouse micartas from the same drop, just in different stages of "oxygenation". I have, as requested, also added the fourth piece in the set, requested in the opener, an LC in Westinghouse:

When I marvel at the shiv design, it always makes me think of the edgecut antique micarta - because they are in the same league visually - simply stunning. I agree, TG.
 
Thank you Gents for posting these exquisite photos. I'm now eve more eager than any time prior, toward receiving my very first EAM handle scales adorning one of my pre-order NASK units.

Here! Here! I concur wholeheartedly!!!:)

The kinda coarse pattern kinda reminds me a little <just a little> of coffee bag canvas Micarta...

Thanks, and...

Post 'em if ya got 'em! :cool:
 
Trev, that set is totally sick man, and the light chopper in particular :thumbsup: :cool:

Thanks, man. I really lucked out on snagging that RLC. Usually I'm not the quickest on the friday sales but somehow ended up being the first to respond.

I really like the variation in color between the three and am curious where the yet-to-be-named survival knife that isn't a survival knife in antique will fit on the spectrum. :D
 
Yes Sir, I did. I was able to repay another generous forum user as well. Today was a good day.
