I sandblasted the grivory and they resulted in a pretty nice texture. Keeping the Micarta on this knife, but I will probably sandblast the grivory in the future to save some money.
Dang it, I really am hooked. Wanting a 9 and an 11 as soon as possible.
Congrats and welcome. I love the Crewman. In many ways, it's a scaled-down BK2, and I find it more useful because of the thinner blade.
