Question for folks here, in the photos I posted above with the 4 CPKs, what color micarta are those handle materials?
I was told the DEKs are natural micarta but honestly they look closer to a reddish brown in real life. The EDC1 I thought was a green micarta, but I don't see that as an option on the CPK EDC1 page here -- doesn't look like OD green, were there other options offered?
The CW BFK also looks to be a natural micarta but it is a lot lighter and has more white streaks.
Thanks in advance.
thanks that's helpful. that's almost exactly the color mine is. little lighter but it turns that color with moisture or wax. it looks so much more brown than green to me.This is/was unbuffed OD green micarta:

I've been carring my Shiro R20 every day for a while and it's been a great companion.Glad you feel they are robust enough . I planned to edc mine but got sidelined by the faulty lock bar . I’ll be using it when it gets back from the spa .
I hear you . Just surprised a $1150 folder has lock bar failure. Not going to get another one until I get this one back and it’s rock solid .I've been carring my Shiro R20 every day for a while and it's been a great companion.

The top one is a Hati (F3 with a CF scale on one side...more or less), and I like it a lot. Super-light, super-slicey, and a great flipper.What do you think of the F3?
Scott Gossman was the first custom maker that I dealt with on here I had gotten a psk model in O1 and a custom Polaris model in S7 with 5 inch blade instead of the usual 4 inch blade! I had also bought some of the S5 steel so Scott could use it to make me a 10 inch tusker ! But he couldn't get the heat treatment how he liked so we scrapped that and he made me the first custom Polaris model he ever made to bad that they were stolen!I really liked them!...I bought this yesterday.
