Multiple layers are built up until the desired thickness is achieved.  The G10 and phenolic sheet we sell is made in the United States.  Our manufacturers have been making excellent quality composites for decades.  We have been to one of their factories multiple times and have watched G10 being made.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4 id=\"WorkingTips\">Working Tips<\/h4>\r\n<p>The high glass content of G10 does make it more challenging to machine than phenolic composites.  The easiest way to cut G10 is to use a wet diamond saw.  We are frequently asked how to texture G10 handles.  We recommend finishing the handle, masking off the blade and then bead blasting the handle with coarse grit.  You decide how coarse you like.  After bead blasting, spray the handle with WD40 and then throughly wash the handle with Dawn dishwashing soap.  When done properly, the finished handle has good grip and the color of the G10 is evident.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4 id=\"RawMaterialConcerns\">Raw Material Concerns<\/h4>\r\n<p>G10 is not a miracle material.  Some people incorrectly assume it is flat.  We measure every piece of G10 we sell.  <b><i>Every<\/b><\/i> piece of G10 has runout.  We round the measurement down so you will never receive less than what we have listed on the website.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The G10 we sell is a raw material, not a finished product.  It has minor surface scratches, dings, scrapes and other imperfections.  It must be machined and\/or sanded before it is in a finished state.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4 id=\"QualityProblems\">Quality Problems<\/h4>\r\n<p>We frequently hear stories from customers about G10 failures.  The one common point is the bad G10 was not from AKS.  The most common failure is cracking and\/or brittleness.  This is not a problem with high quality G10 but is a common problem with offshore G10.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The reason poor quality G10 easily cracks or is brittle is because the manufacturer reduced the number of glass mat layers and increased the amount of epoxy.  In terms of cost, epoxy is cheap and glass mat is expensive.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are suppliers here in the U.S. who are selling G10 made offshore, and I\u2019m not just referring to Alibaba.  Do your homework and ask suppliers where their G10 is made.  Test the material yourself by breaking some pieces.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4 id=\"Summary\">Summary<\/h4>\r\n<p>G10 is an excellent handle material as long as you are aware of, and work within, its limitations.  You owe it to yourself and your customers to use the best materials possible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t<div id=\"bowie\"\n\t     class=\"lightbox-by-id lightbox-content mfp-hide lightbox-white \"\n\t     style=\"max-width:800px ;padding:20px\">\n\t\t<div class=\"lb\">\r\n\r\n<h3>Bowie Blocks&trade;<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p>At a show in April 2004 we introduced the Bowie Block&trade;.  The response was great and we've stocked the blocks since that time.<\/p> \r\n\r\n<p>A Bowie Block&trade; is a block of handle material with a unique shape.  Rather than being a rectangular block, the material is cut at an angle on one side.  The shape allows knifemakers to make a handle that drops at the back.  The shape of the block minimizes waste and cost.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The width column has two measurements.  The first measurement is the narrow end of the block.  The second measurement is the wide end of the block.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\r\n\r\n\n<hr>\n<h3>Pink G10 Sheet, Scales, Liners and Blocks<\/h3>\n<p><\/main><!-- #main --><\/p>\n<div><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alphaknifesupply.com\/shop\/product-category\/g10-micarta\">\u21e6 Go Back to All G10<\/a><\/center><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Description Thick Len Wid Price Qty Pink G10 See All Handle Materials By Thickness: .015&#8243;
