Composite materials can be a fantastic material to substitute for wood on your next knife project. Durable, classy, and most often more water and heat resistant than wood, composite materials can provide an affordable way to prepare a knife for field use. Some of the more versatile knifemaking supplies, composites can be a great way to expand the options for knife handle materials for your customers.

Micarta comes in many forms. From paper micarta to linen micarta to burlap micarta, there are lots of options. Micarta makes an excellent choice for knife handles due to its remarkable combination of durability, strength, and versatility. Composed of layers of fabric, such as linen or paper, impregnated with a thermosetting resin, Micarta undergoes a compression and heating process that results in a dense and rugged material. This construction grants the knife handle resistance to moisture, chemicals, and temperature variations, ensuring longevity and stability in various environments. Furthermore, Micarta's machinability allows for precise shaping and finishing, providing a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing grip for users.
