That material is called Python Micarta by the Russian knife maker, Shirogorov. I've seen it oriented both like mine, which I prefer and would term horizontal as well as in a vertical orientation. Most F3 Pythons I've seen have OD green backspacers, but mine and one or two others I've encountered have Ti backspacers which are really sweet.Do you know what that micarta is called, and where it came from? It really looks like the Busse Snakeskin on mine above.

I have no idea where Shirogorov sources that material.
