Making Micarta

[Talon]

Micarta is brilliant stuff . I re handled my Condor kukri in denim micarta . It was meant to be blue denim but looks more green . I also made micarta scales for my Enzo Elver . I’ve thought about giving making it a try but it’s so rare that I either make or buy a new fixed blade that I’ve not bothered yet . Looking forward to seeing the results . I sand mine to 120 grit on large knives .Doesn’t look the best ashetically but it gives a lovely grip . I was always a fan of traditional wood but for large camp knives , or knives that need to do a lot of heavy work Micarta is hard to beat . I have a Von Tempsky Bowie that I’m planning on rehandling when I get round to it . Should be a fun project for you Mort .
