Hi Folks ~ Tubefink I didn't come here to Peddle micarta , I do fine in that respect already. I came here for what I stated but, non experts keep coming at me not really allowing that vibe. Any real Experts I have a relationship with in real knife dealings (mostly Randalls) see eye to eye on Everything - All the time. They know what I have (although nobody's seen more that maybe 15 percent of My W-H Micarta. Boardrider knows what he's looking at. They (WH) had to quit using Asbestos in 79 & by early 80's swithched to some epoxies for the decoratives instead. The thing is Alot of people only think they Pressed Ivorite, A-gold & What AGES to brown 'old Brown'(Nat/Bleached) Phenolic a non Decorative. Any Vintage Micarta with Blackline Always Indicates westinghouse (To My knowledge)unless I-P carried the same thing thru , but i've never known that to be true. On the A-ivory & Old Brown the Blacklines were put in it to see from forklifts afar way up on shelves for Identification purposes in Industry. This Pic that i'll upload of Tan aged Paper in 1" (70's no Asbestos) it, was pressed for decorative visual purposes. i'll go ahead & upload the Ivory blackLine (early 80's - for learning & reference) .I probably have 50 different Recipes of Westinghouse Micarta , About a Half ton left. Not much Ivorite (No Block Stock) or A-gold left. Ken
