    Default Sources for G10 & Micarta

    I have found a few sources for paper, linen, and canvas micarta, but I'm really having trouble finding sources for solid 1/8" G10. I've got a couple, but there's gotta be more, and I'm really looking for a variety of colors if possible.

    If anyone can steer me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

    Thanks!

    You might try www.knifekits.com They have several colors available for G10 (black/blue, black/green, black/red) and a whole bunch of different colors and patterns of micarta, including "designer" micarta.

    I think more people opt for Micarta because the dust is nasty (always wear a respirator while sanding or grinding), but not as nasty as G10.

    I'm not affiliated with the site, but have ordered from them many times without any problems.

    Default Micarta Scales

    Oso, I am planning to do business with the site you posted. I have used paper micarta for dishwasher-proof scales for kitchen knives. It worked as promised. Linen and canvas will do for straight razor scales. I am using wooden shade shutter slats with good results. They are easy to fashion with a pocket knife. Robert
