Do you have a photo of your red linen user? I have a red linen from 2014 that I have yet to use since I have a lot of users in rotation but the micarta looks a lot darker than what is being released. I don't remember what it looked like when I first got it and just curious if it simply darkened while sitting in the tube.I have four of these already from previous years, so am not after any of the new ones, but I do hope folks who haven't experienced this pattern will try to score one. I carried my first in red micarta for a couple of years almost exclusively, and it's still a fantastic knife.

This is more or less what my old red linen looks like even though I haven't used it. I kinda thought the new red was brighter but wasn't sure. I guess we'll see the difference once I get it in hand.Burgundy Linen user

That is very nice. I’m hoping to score a red linen Micarta from one of the dealers soon and really want one that’s dark red like that. I think some mineral oil and carry will make it dark if it turns out being bright red
Me too.. or x2 as the kids say.I wish they had made some muslin micarta 71’s, that one is my favorite.
I think the new stack are the green ones? Edit - no, the photo says “more red”! That’s a lotta red.

btb01 I should've been more specific and differentiated between micarta and delrin and acrylic.Yeah, I have Micarta #71’s from 2015, 2017 and 2018. None of them are noticeably thicker than any of the others. In fact, the 2017 Muslin Micarta is a hair thinner than all of the 2015’s. My two acrylic models from 2015 are slightly thinner than all of the Micartas, but I don’t think that’s really an apples-to-apples comparison, and the difference between my thickest #71 and my thinnest is less than 1mm. Pull/action are also pretty comparable across the different runs. (2017 had slightly stronger pulls, but are just snappy as knives from 2015.)
