I was looking for some different handle materials to try and found a few new Micarta patterns on Etsy.
Barb wire canvas Micarta and a Python snakeskin pattern Micarta.
I’ve got the barb wire going onto a Schrade 25ot and it looks really good. I haven't decided what to put the Python snakeskin on yet. The snakeskin actually looks much better once it’s shaped and polished (there were a few pictures online of it finished on a knife).
Here’s the sellers picture of the Python Micarta on a finished knife:

Those are very nice Jeff. If you use that Python snakeskin pattern anytime soon I sure would like to see
your final work, I know it's going to be interesting.

With such a large pattern, you may have to put that python micarta on a large handle...
Maybe a folding hunter size knife.
225 H or 25OT size knife.
I like the way that stuff looks. I can't wait to see you use it on a knife handle!

Very interesting! I can't wait to see what they look like on some of your finished knives.
