Thread: G10, what the hell is it...

My bad, I was thinking of VG10. VG10 is the steel Spyderco uses on their good knives...

Fortunately, however, I have a Spyderco Endura 4 with VG10 steel blade, and G10 scale handles...

G10 is like plastic on steroids... It's made from glass woven fabrics that have an epoxy resin fused into them during the making, making them less likely to corrode, and able to take a good beating. It's used a lot in electronics and dive knives because it's water absorption is almost zero, making it good scale material, because it will take a whole lot to warp it. It's also almost completely moisture/climate resistant, so it can be stored in the bathroom, or the boiler room, hell, put it in the freezer.

That about covers it... Any other questions?
