Joe & Capt. Chris,

Appreciate your comments. It was my impression the handle material was the shop supplied AGM and would darken over time if exposed to too much sunlight similar to the Westinghouse "Ivorite". I never considered Bone Linen Micarta. I think it is amazing how the color can look so different with different lighting and background. Bone Linen Micarta, never too late to learn something new about these knives.
