Sold: Snake's Knives, Orange patterned G10 "0282"

[snake_2586]

You all know the drill by now, I make knives as a hobby in my spare time, the blade steel is Elmax (stainless steel), the handle material is Orange patterned G10 with aluminium pins.
The sheath is approx. 3mm veg tan leather, dyed brown. the loop will easily accept a 2.5" belt, if you would prefer a different sheath just ask and I will see what I can do.
The knife blade is 4" long, 3.5mm thick and roughly 20mm deep.

£270 inc P+P





Proof of age will be required when purchasing this knife.

How do you find working the G10 compared to the Kirinite @snake_2586 ..?

Looks funky, I like it.

I find it sands up by hand so much quicker, and it doesn't need so many different grades of sand paper to work the scratched out that I create when roughing it on the belt sander.

The main down side is the dust that is produced, when I remove my air helmet, the workshop stinks, and you have to leave it for a few hours to let the dust settle.

That dust can of course kill you over time without good extraction

And thats why I use a forced air helmet when working with it,

yeah so do i . That dust that settles in the workshop is likely more dangerous to us

All true.

I don’t think that Kirinite gets the respect it deserves, I get that it can look a little plastic like in its raw form, once fitted and finished though I am liking it more and more.

Have you tried the TeroTuf gear? It won’t take a finish as such but is totally waterproof and isn’t trying to secretly kill you.

What I still dont understand with kirinite is that the better polished it is the more grippy it gets when wet, the compleate oposite of G10/micarta,

TeroTuf, never heard of it, have you got a link where I could buy some to give it a try?
