Ahhhh! This was the photo that led me deep into the AECM rabbit hole several years ago. It started me on an all-consuming quest to have prime examples of this hypnotic handle material on all my CPK's. This led to buying more knives than I needed, including models I had no practical use for, just because they had a fine set of AECM attached.
The power of the Dark Side is strong in this material. I knew I needed to find a way to break free of its power over me. It was tough going cold turkey. I finally found the powerful cure I needed when I was vaccinated with...............TeroTuf!
I'm new to Carothers but have been oogling them for about a year (finally bought a UF from a member here just recently). Can anyone make a functional comparison between an edge cut micarta handle and a standard micarta handle? Is the edge cut micarta any more grippy--specifically when wet? Or is it the pull mostly esthetic? Thanks in advance!

I don’t believe there is any practical difference in performance between the two on something the size of a knife handle. Premium aesthetics is what you buy this material for. The edge cut stuff is like beautiful quarter-sawn wood that lets you look deep into the history of the material.
