Bark River G10 Slabs...

[The Big Lebowski]

Anyone out there own a BRKT with G10 Slabs?

Just curious on the texture... I've tried Linen Micarta which feels not unlike wood really but have no experience of G10!

Cheers, al.

I have a woodlore in micarta and a spyderco bushcrafter in G10 and to the touch I can't tell the difference even looking at them closely I can't see anything between them.

Cheers bud... I know there are a few 'slightly' different textures (non machined) between different makers. The BRKT stuff looks very smooth, but its difficult to tell by pictures alone

Atb, al.

My BRKT north star is smooth. A few years old now so they may be doing it different now but I doubt it. If you want it rougher you could always get it bead blasted.

Thanks Stew... Did it ever give you problems with grip?

Main reason I'm asking is G10 was the choice for a no frills user. No fancy woodwork to worry about, just an out and out worker in all weathers.

Ta, al.

No grip problems for me.

Its finished as smooth as wood and I have no issues with that either.

Im not prepping animals with it though so blood may be an issue. Good handle design shape will aid there.

Appreciated, cheers

G10 it is then.
