It's not often that this Forum gets "Two Bucks "worth of postings in the same thread.

Chris, it had been my understanding that the ivory micarta that showed what I called, "contour lines" in the micarta, as in my model 8-4", is/was linen micarta.

But, you're saying, "close but no cigar". Correct?

I guess I'm getting my ivory linen(?) micarta confused with ivory lineal micarta.
