New Handle Material

J. Hoffman · Sep 19, 2013

This is a new material I found in Finland. It is stabilized plant fiber. One looks like blades of grass and the other one looks almost like endive. They also make a version with aluminum filings and spirals from drilling. It looks pretty cool. It's available in several different colors. I just got this in, and haven't had a chance to try it yet. I'll let everyone know when I do start to use it. Perhaps this is something Boss could look into getting (hint, hint ):biggrin:

Here is a knife with the finished material. I'm not sure I would use it again. It's strong, but seems a little soft. I think it's going to scratch easily.
