I'm a big fan of polished micarta. I think I read that it wasn't as good for knife scales because it isn't as stiff as G10.

I prefer G-10 over CF and prefer cf over micarta. I even prefer FRN over micarta. I don’t hate micarta, but it doesn’t have any features or attributes that makes it superior to G10/cf/FRN.

I love the look and feel of linen Micarta, but I am not unaware of its shortcomings.
