I have the opportunity to buy a lot of black linen micarta in 1/4" and 3/8". I'm not looking to make a lot of money on this but I do want a little bit to cover cutting it up.
This isn't a sale thread. I'm looking for enough interest to justify the purchase. I'll do the sale thread in the exchange area if there is interest
I can buy it and put it in flat rate boxes to ship it cheaply. I'm looking for folks who want to buy in bulk. It will work out to just under .50 cent per cubic inch. That is a little more than half the going rate.
I'm looking at sizing it to ship in the small priority mail flat rate box which costs $4.95 and would hold four sheets of 8.5 X 5.25 X 3/8", or six sheets of 8.5 X 5.25 X 1/4", (enough for 21 sets of med scales), either for about $33 total plus shipping.
Please let me know if you're interested and I'll get this started here in the next couple days.
If somebody wants a full 4 foot by 8 foot sheet, please send me a PM.

Group buy, black linen micarta in bulk
Okay folks. I bought a significant amount of high quality black linen micarta (from a friendly vendor of mine that I buy a lot of plastic from) at a really good price and cut it up and put it into bulk flat rate boxes for you fine folks.
I bought more than people spoke for. But I'm selling this at about half the going rate, so I hope it will go quickly. There will be 16 boxes of 1/4" and 24 boxes of 3/8". You can buy more than one box.
This is the real phenolic based material, not epoxy or polyester. It is hard, strong, stable, chemically inert and truly black. It is linen based, so it is stronger and more grippy than paper base, but not as pronounced as canvas based.
This sale is borderline in violation of the new policy regarding nondealers selling large amounts of materials. But I talked to Spark about it first.
This is a recent picture of Spark:
I'm not about to piss that guy off.
But he said that because I'm not significantly marking it up and I'm doing this with altruistic intentions it will slide.
This is a recent picture of me:
However - that means this is a one time thing. I will not be doing this again.
This is the micarta:
It is about 8.5 by 5.2" to fit in a standard small flat rate box, which will ship for 5 bucks. There are 6 sheet of 1/4" or 4 sheets of 3/8" for $33.00 plus 5 bucks shipping = $38 per box = a lot of knives
This is going to be a lot of folks for me to keep up with. So to keep things simple this is what I need you to do to order this.
