WoodRiver

Details

WoodRiver® Micarta Knife Scale is a hard, compact material that will not warp, expand or shrink with age or exposure to weather – a superior choice for knife handles. Similar in construction to G10, Micarta is made of thin layers of linen cloth that are soaked in phenolic resin, baked and pressed into huge sheets. It has no surface texture and is extremely smooth to the touch. As this knife scale is shaped, a unique pattern emerges due to the different layers.

Features:

Extremely lightweight and durable
Very stable
Can be shaped with files, rasps, and sandpaper
Unique pattern emerges as layers become exposed

Specifications:

Thickness: 8 mm
Width: 1-1/2"
Length: 5"

What's Included:

(1) Pair of WoodRiver - Micarta Knife Scales - 8 mm x 1-1/2" x 5" - Black and Red

Notes:

Use of personal protection equipment (or PPE), such as respirators and safety glasses, is recommended while shaping, forming and sanding.
Once sanded to 600 grit, apply one to two coats of teak oil per the manufacturer’s directions to seal the open fibers.
