Texas Knifemakers Supply Bulk Micarta Knife Handle Pieces - Assorted Colors & Grains

I've had this cutlery set for years, and the blades are great, but the handles are all cracking. I've never abused them, never put them in the diswasher, but they're cracking anyway. Micarta has fabric embedded in it, and the fibers look like they should make it stronger. I'll find out in another 20 years. It's very easy to work with. It sands like wood without all the idiosyncrasies, and the sanded surface has an interesting texture. I was tempted to use a sealer, but instead just sanded, wet sanded, buffed and polished it. We'll see how the appearance holds up under use and washing. If I need to re-polish it, I think I will apply a sealer.

This is precisely what it is claimed to be. It is being used to replace kitchen knife plastic handles which have cracked over the years and some pieces of the handles actually fell off. The knives were of sufficient quality to justify replacing the handles. A certain level of skill in working with materials and the correct tools are necessary to be successful.

i made some whoop ass razor scales from this be sure to wear a mask when working with this material

This micarta worked out great.

Works great for knife handles, when you need a custom size.

Was just as described it's a really nice dense micarta

Very good durable material, bought it to use as a spacer between the guard of a knife and the handle, also plan on using it for handle material

Tough to work but comes out nice.
