    Hi, thanks for letting me post here.

    Ive been making some handles and scales for various knife models, and I love the Ontario Rat series Black blade and green? Tan? Natural? Coyote brown? Kakhi? handles.

    Im trying to find the color of micarta that is closest to the ones Ontari rat 3,5,7 comes with.

    Help appreciated.

    Best Wishes, Carlos

    Just know that real Micarta fades quickly. The tan colors you see on some of our knives and Ontario's was actually considered green when it's new.
